Tanker freed from pirates

Fri Sep 25 22:53:58 CEST 2026 Timsen

Authorities in the Puntland region of Somalia have freed the 'Sibu 1', and the pirates were arrested in a planned 48-hour operation. A violent clash took place between the Somali forces and the pirates off the coast of Mudug, leaving three people dead and several others injured. It was not specified whether it was all pirates or some of the crew from the ship. The 'Sibu 1' was captured on Aug 20 off the coast of Yemen, approximately 136 nautical miles east of Al Mukalla by six pirated, who directed it to the coast of Somalia. The tanker had a crew of 20, including 16 Indian nationals and four Arab crewmembers. It had had a murky past and was sanctioned by the United States in December 2025 in an effort targeting an Egyptian businessman. OFAC asserted his companies were associated with multiple shadow fleet vessels, as well as several shipping companies, used to transport Iranian oil products. The former 'Seamull' was transferred to UAE management and renamed 'Sibu 1', claiming registry in Eritrea, which was considered false.

Hijacked tanker was sailing under false flag

Fri Aug 28 15:52:38 CEST 2026 Timsen

The 'Sibu 1', sanctioned by the United States in Dec 2025 for its alleged involvement in a fleet used to help Iranian petroleum products evade U.S. sanctions. and hijacked off the coast of Yemen before being diverted to Somalia, has not been registered in Eritrea, despite sailing under that country's flag. The Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel stated that the vessel had no connection to Eritrea. The International Maritime Organisation database listed its status as "False Eritrea," indicating that the registration was not recognised as valid. The tanker was last located on Aug 24 about six kilometers off the northeastern coast of Somalia.

IMO demanding immediate release of captured seafarers

Wed Aug 26 12:53:50 CEST 2026 Timsen

The IMO Secretary-General, Arsenio Dominguez, was demanding the immediate and unconditional release of more than 90 seafarers held captive following renewed piracy in the Gulf of Aden. Following the hijack of the ' Sibu 1'; six vessels were being held by pirates and armed robbers in the region. The organisation reportsedthat the more than 90 seafarers were facing constant uncertainty and threats, with some having limited access to adequate food, fresh water, medical support and other essential services. IMO Secretary-General Dominguez stated that no seafarer should face violence, intimidation or exploitation simply for doing their jobs and keeping global trade moving. The IMO was also calling on flag States and coastal States to ensure ships are properly prepared to manage security risks, including implementation of Best Management Practices for Maritime Security (BMP Maritime Security) and relevant IMO guidance. The IMO said that continued international naval cooperation remained essential to protecting merchant shipping and seafarers.
