Pirates have seized a Greek-owned cargo ship off the coast of Somalia, Greek officials said.
The Titan, with 24 crew members on board, was seized on Thursday night, Greek Merchant Marine Ministry informed, as cited by the BBC. The vessel came under attack as it sailed to Korea from the Black Sea with a cargo of metal.
The Gulf of Aden sees frequent attacks on merchant vessels, accounting for 40% of 293 pirate attacks in 2008. Among the vessels seized are a Saudi oil tanker, and a Ukrainian ship transporting weapons, including tanks. Last month another Greek ship and 22 crew was seized.
