Pirates seize nine more Pinoy seamen off Africa Posted by pinoy_ako (2008/8/23)

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Foreign Affairs on Saturday said nine more Filipino seafarers have been seized by sea pirates in the Gulf of Aden.

DFA Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Esteban Conejos Jr. said the figure raises the total number
Filipino seafarers being held captive off the Horn of Africa to 54.

In a text message coursed through DFA spokesman Claro Cristobal, Conejos said the additional nine captive Pinoy seamen were part of 13-man crew of the German-owned, Antigua and Barbuda-flagged freighter M/T BBC Trinidad.

The said freighter ship was hijacked by suspected Somali pirates on August 21, the same day when chemical tanker MT Irene, a Panama-flagged and operated by Japan’s Koyo Company, was hijacked with 19 crewmen including 15 Filipino seamen, not 16 as earlier reported.

On Aug. 19, suspected Somali pirates also seized MT Bunga Melati 2 with 10 Filipino seamen, while 20 other Filipino seafarers were held captives by the pirates when they commandeered MV Stella Maris on July 27.

“The DFA has instructed embassies in Berlin and Nairobi to coordinate with ship owners, international maritime authorities and host government, in the efforts to secure the safe and speedy release of the crewmembers," Conejos’ message said.
