Supertanker kapret ved Seychellerne

Den 300.294 DTW store græske supertanker Maran Centaurus blev søndag kapret af pirater, da det befandt sig på en position 600 sømil nordøst for Seychellerne. Skibet, og dets 28 mand store besætning, har nu kurs mod den somaliske kyst

Supertankeren var ifølge EU's maritime styrker - EU NAVFOR - på vej fra Jeddah i Saudi Arabien til New Orleans med råolie, da det blev kapret.

Den græske supertanker er kun en anelse mindre end den hidtil største fangst piraterne har gjort, den saudiske supertanker Sirius Star, der blev kapret i november 2008. Sirius Star blev løsladt igen den 9. januar mod en løsesum på 3 millioner dollar. Oprindelig havde piraterne krævet 25 millioner dollar.

Ifølge nyhedsbureauet Reuters lykkedes det ni bevæbnede pirater at borde skibet, og tage kontrol med skibet og den 28 mand store besætning der er sammensat af 16 filippinere, 9 grækere, 2 ukrainere og en rumæner.

Den kaprede supertanker menes nu at have kur mod kysten ud for de somaliske havnebyer Harardheere eller Hobyo.
