Pirates have hijacked a Bangladesh-flagged ship in the Arabian Sea off the coast of India. The pirates embarked on board after chasing MV Jahan Moni in the Arabian Sea on 5 Dec 10. The 16-crew ship owned by a Bangladeshi shipping firm was heading towards Europe with merchandise from Singapore.
It is thought that the pirates were from Somalia. This is an extremely long range attack and would be a record to date.
Maritime Risk International has teams ready to embark at less than 24hrs notice to assist vessels in transit.
