In a second attack in the Gulf of Aden at 0540 UTC (08h40 local time) on 08. September 2010 Antigua&Barbuda-flagged, 735-teu boxship MV MAGELLAN STAR was targeted and boarded by pirates in position 13 23 N 049 58 E. The vessel had delivered goods to Indonesia and was on her return voyage.
The ships crew locked themselves in a safe room and requested for assistance. Apparently there is at present a stand-off between the pirates and navies, which could reach the scene. Further reports are awaited. As of July 19 crew 11: Bulgarian 1, Filipino 6, Polish 1, Russian 2, Ukranian 1 (ITF)
A third attack has been reported today involving Jamaica-flagged 28,200 dwt MV MILTIADES with 23 crew on her way from Suez to India with fertilizer. Reportedly five or six pirates were arrested in the unsuccessful attack and the vessel is said to sail free.
