欧盟打击海盗的部队说，这艘“罗萨莉娅.达马托号”散装货轮星期四在距离阿曼海岸560公里的印度洋上被劫持。这支部队说，船员中有6名意大利人和15名菲律宾人。意大利外交部证实了这次劫持事件，并说船员人数为22人。这艘货轮的所有者波热凡扎公司的官员说，他们已经联络了这艘船的船长，并报告说，所有船员都很好。
在另一起事件中，韩国海军星期四登上也门附近的一艘船只，原因是担心船上有海盗。有关官员说，这艘韩国“韩进.天津号”船上的20名船员被证实都是安全的。目前还不清楚他们是否发现了海盗。这艘船发出求救信号后，韩国一艘驱逐舰立即前去营救。

The European Union’s anti-piracy force says the bulk carrier MV Rosalia D’Amato was seized Thursday in the Indian Ocean, 560 kilometers off the coast of Oman.It says the ship’s crew consists of six Italians and 15 Filipinos. Italy’s foreign ministry, which confirmed the hijacking, put the number of crew members at 22. Officials with Perseveranza, the company that owns the ship, say they have been in contact with the ship’s captain and report that all crew members are well.
In a separate incident, South Korean naval forces boarded a vessel near Yemen Thursday because of fears pirates were on board. Officials say all 20 crew members aboard the South Korean-owned Hanjin Tianjin were confirmed to be safe. It was not clear whether any pirates were found.A South Korean naval destroyer had raced to the ship’s aid after it sent a distress signal.
