Another Maltese flagged vessel has been captured off the Omani coast and is now heading towards Somalia. A distress signal was received on Saturday and it is believed that it happened around 350 nautical miles East of Masirah. Counter-piracy force EU NAVFOR reported the ship is "believed" hijacked but that communication has been lost with the vessel. Onboard the supra-max vessel, there are 23 crew members but thankfully to date there are no reports of any casualties.
