MOGADISHU - The oil-laden Saudi super tanker hijacked this weekend by Somali pirates is anchored off the Somali port of Haradhere, an official from the nearby northern breakaway state of Puntland told AFP Tuesday. ‘We have been receiving some information and we now know that the ship is anchored near Harardhere,’ a small village and known piracy hub some 300 kilometres (180 miles) north of Mogadishu, said Puntland presidential adviser Bile Mohamoud Qabowsade.
The Sirius Star and its crew of 25 were captured far out to sea, off the coast of Kenya or Tanzania.
