(Itar-Tass) --The German ship Beluga Fortune with Russian sailors aboard has been rescued from pirate captivity, Andrew Mwangura, the director of the Seafarers' Assistance Programme for East Africa said on Monday, October 25.
| Rescued or ransomed? There is a difference, generally involving blood and general (or specific) destruction of property. And of course, where the pretty girls are, who help celebrate the result. |
The fat merchantman was heading from the United Arab Emirates to South Africa and was seized on Sunday 2,000 kilometres east of Kenya. There are 16 crewmembers, board the ship. Some of them are Russian. |
