First Hijacking of a Merchant Vessel by Somali Pirates in Five Years This attack reinforces the need for vessels to follow Best Management Practices (BMP) within the High Risk Area. _______________________________________________________________ MARCH 14, 2017—Nairobi, Kenya - On 13 March 2017 Somali pirates hijacked the MT ARIS 13, a tanker vessel en route to Mogadishu from Djibouti. The ship was seized approximately 18 km off the northern tip of Somalia. This incident marks the first hijacking of a merchant vessel since the height of Somali piracy in 2012. Details of the MT ARIS 13: • Crew consists of eight Sri Lankans • Owned by Panama-based company, Comoros flagged, and United Arab Emirates managed vessel • Carrying a cargo of gas and fuel • Not registered with the Maritime Security Center for the Horn of Africa, an organization that registers and tracks commercial traffic in region The MT ARIS 13 reported that it had been approached by two skiffs, with weapons sighted on one of the boats. The vessel soon dropped communication and was reported by EUNAVFOR to have been hijacked by pirates. It was then taken to the coastal town of Caluula in Somalia’s Puntland state.
