Pirates take Greek ship toward Somali coast

"The master of the vessel has reported that the crew are unharmed and the vessel is sailing towards the Somali coast," Athens-based Meadway Shipping and Trading Inc said in a statement.

"The company is currently doing everything in its power to ensure the situation is resolved quickly."

Meadway Inc said the cargo ship, Delvina, was hijacked early on Thursday northeast of the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean. It had been sailing from Ukraine to Mombasa in Kenya.

Greek port police on Friday said the Delvina was captured 280 nautical miles east of the Tanzanian coast.HERE
