A $1.5 million ransom has been demanded as investigations continue in the hijacking of the Maltese registered vessel. The Arctic Sea which was carrying $1 million worth of sawn timber from Finland, was due to arrive in Algeria on August 4 but it failed to reach the port of Bejaia. Our sources confirmed that Malta has joined forces with the Swedish and Finnish Authorities to investigate the alleged hijack and extortion.
