| (Xinhua) -- Somali pirates have hijacked a Panama-flagged ship, about 100 nautical miles off the coast of Tanzania with 15 Indians, a regional maritime official confirmed on Wednesday. Andrew Mwangura, the East Africa coordinator of Seafarers Assistance Program (SAP), said MT Asphalt Venture which was sailing to South African port of Durban was hijacked in the early hours of Wednesday. "The MT Asphalt Venture was hijacked in Tanzanian waters while underway to Durban from Mombasa (Kenya). The vessel is empty and has 15 Indian crew," Mwangura told Xinhua by telephone from Mombasa. |
