The "Ortube berria", auxiliary fishing vessel of the Intertuna III for detecting fishing areas, was suffering this afternoon a pirate attack in the Indian Ocean, around 700 miles off the Somalia coast. The vessel, which belongs to the Albacora company with base in Bermeo (Spain) and has two private security guards on board, was chased by a rapid boat at around 1230 GMT, and they repelled the attack by opening fire. Then they were full ahead to get away from the pirates until the pirates gave up. All the crew, around 10 people, are in good condition. The 'Ortube Berria' already suffered a pirate attack last year and also had to repel it by opening fire.
