Tankskib eskorteret til friheden

Bevæbnede vagter fra et privat vagtværn befinder sig nu om bord på tankskibet M/T Smyrni, der efter at have været kapret i 10 måneder blev frigivet søndag. Skibet er på vej nordover til Salalah.

Indtil de bevæbnede vagter var på plads, blev skibet - der er lastet med 135.000 ton råolie - som det fremgår af billedet herover, eskorteret af det spanske krigsskib ESPS Méndez Núnez.

Smyrni, der sejler under liberisk flag, blev kapret omkring klokken 13.00 fredag den 11. maj 2012 omkring 250 sømil ud for Omans kyst i Det Arabiske Hav. Olietankeren har 26 besætningsmedlemmer om bord.

Lørdag løslod pirater kemikalietankeren Royal Grace efter at der også var udbetalt en løsesum for dette skib.
