Another Gujarat dhow released from control of Somali pirates

One more dhow from Gujarat is released by Somali pirates. Gandhidham based Jagdishbhai Ayachi’s Sea Queen dhow has been released by Somali pirates. All sailors are safe.

Sea Queen dhow was bringing coal to Dubhai from African port. It was kidnapped off Somalia coast by Somali pirates along with seven other boats belonging to Gujarat based owners.

Though released before seven days, the sailors could contact Gandhidham-Gujarat based owner only recently because Somali pirates had snatched away all communication instruments.

The sailors called Gandhidham based owner from a port near Oman and informed that they were safe. There were 12 sailors in Sea Queen dhow.

Gujarat’s total eight ships were kidnapped by Somali pirates, out of which seven are already released. Now only one boat ‘Vishwa Kalyan’ from Porbandar is under control of Somali pirates with 15 sailors. Most of the sailors in ‘Vishwa Kalyan’ are from Gujarat’s Mandvi and Salaya ports.
