Mærsk skib reddet af indisk krigsskib

Et piratangreb på Maersk Kensington blev lørdag afværget, da et indisk krigsskib kom det britisk flagede Mærsk containerskib til undsætning. Efter en voldsom ildkamp mellem det indiske krigsskib og piraternes moderskib, blev 16 pirater taget til fange og 16 gidsler befriet.

Maersk Kensington befandt sig lørdag formiddag omkring 300 sømil vest for Lakshadweep i Det Arabiske Hav, da det udsendte nødsignaler om, at det var under angreb fra pirater.

Det indiske krigsskib INS Suvarna var hurtigt fremme på positionen, og det kom til en voldsom ildkamp mellem det indiske patruljeskib og piraternes modeskib, Morteza – en tidligere kapret iransk trawler.

Det indiske krigsskib kunne efterfølgende tage 16 pirater til fange, mens trawlerens 16 mand store besætning - 12 iranere og 2 pakistanere - der blev holdt som gidsler om bord på piratmoderskibet, blev befriet. Den iranske trawler sank efterfølgende.

De 16 piraterne er nu bragt til Mumbai hvor de vil blive retsforfulgt.

Ingen om bord på Maersk Kensington kom til skade i forbindelse med angrebet.
