IMB seeks info on hijacked ship<\/p>\n
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): The International Maritime Bureau (IMB)
\nappealed yesterday for information on a Malaysian gas-oil tanker,
\nthe Suci, which was hijacked by six armed pirates and is now
\nbelieved to be sailing under the name Glory II.<\/p>\n
The IMB last Saturday issued an alert to all port authorities
\nin Asia, as well as ships plying the region, to be on the lookout
\nfor the 17-year old tanker.<\/p>\n
The pirates set 15 of the 17 crew members adrift, but held two
\nengineers when they took over the ship last Tuesday off the
\nHosburgh Lighthouse, east of Singapore, IMB officials said.<\/p>\n
The two crew members were identified as second engineer
\nTajuddin, and fourth engineer Kadarishmanto Dwijo Hiswoyo, both
\nIndonesians.<\/p>\n
The Suci, built in Japan in 1979 and owned by Malaysia-based
\nReezan Holdings Bhd, was carrying about 3,000 metric tons of gas
\noil and was believed to be heading for ports in Thailand,
\nIndonesia and southern China.<\/p>",
