LONDON: A Singapore-flagged chemical tanker was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden on Friday, the European Union naval force (EU Navfor) said.
The 20,000 deadweight-ton M/V Pramoni was seized when it was heading to Kandla in India, the Northwood-based EU Navfor said in a statement. The ship has a crew of 24.
It was the first attack in the new year by Somali pirates who have made tens of millions of dollars from seizing ships for ransom in the Gulf of Aden.
"The ship's master reported by radio that the ship was hijacked and all the crew are well," the EU Navfor said.
On Monday, Somali pirates seized a British tanker with 26 crew members ?and a Yemeni freighter with a crew of 15.
