MV YASIN C 8208191
Due to the attack by the pirates there are huge damages to the "Yasin C" but Ino crew member was injured. By Apr 10, 2 p.m., the vessel was still on sea and had not arrived in Mombasa. It had been seized on Apr 7, 2010, after a prolonged attack in the Indian Ocean which started at 12.43 a.m. UTC in position 0459S 04352E, around 270 nm east of Kenya. The ship was taken by Somali pirates in the afternoon though the crew had armed personnel on board, first engaging in a fire-fight with the attackers, before locking themselves in. The vessel was carrying wheat from Ukraine to Mombasa and has a crew of 25, assumed to all be of Turkish nationality. After the hijack the ship was first commandeered towards Hobyo at the Central Somali Indian Ocean coast, but with the crew safe in the machine room and able to manipulate the ship movement, the pirates must have had a frustrating experience . They pounded the bridge and deck with automatic guns, and set some parts of the ship on fire.
