North Korean Cargo Ship Hijacked in Gulf of Aden

A North Korean cargo ship was hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden just south of the Yemeni coast on 3 Feb 10.

There are no reports on the nationalities of those onboard the vessel, which has now altered its course and is heading toward the Somali basin.

The vessel, the RIM, is a general cargo ship of 4,800 tons and is North Korean flagged and owned by the White Sea Shipping of Libya. Coalition forces are monitoring its position.
