On board are more than ten Yemeni seamen and their equipment.

The boat was sailing near the north coast of Somalia when the pirates attacked it with small boats. They later headed toward the Somali coast with the hijacked boat.

This boat will probably join tens of other big and small boats hijacked by the Somali pirates. Some of these boats have been held by the pirates for more than a year.

Most of the big fishing boats hijacked by the Somali pirates are used as mother ships when carrying out operations in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden.

Somali waters are the most dangerous in the world and attacks are common in the busiest area, in terms of sea traffic, in the world. The pirates hijack defenseless boats and ships for ransom.
