Захват произошёл на расстоянии в 900 морских миль от Сейшельских островов и 600 морских миль от побережья Сомали.
Как сообщает ВМС ЕС, судно находилось вдали от зоны патрулирования ВМС ЕС. На борту судна находятся 25 человек (8 граждан Болгарии, 10 граждан Украины, 5 граждан Индии и 2 гражданина Румынии). Все члены экипажа в порядке. Как сообщают РИА Новости, МИД Украины официально подтвердил присутствие 10 граждан Украины на борту судна.
Судно было зарегистрировано в MSCHOA и шло на Северо-запад в сторону Международного Рекомендованного Транзитного Коридора, к которому должно было подойти 3 января. На борту захваченного Asian Glory находится 2405 автомобилей корейского производства. Автомобилевоз Asian Glory вышел 26 декабря из Сингапура назначением на саудовский порт Джидда.
One of the most discussed car carriers last days was Asian Glory, which was hijacked by pirates around the shores of Somalia. The ships sailing in the location are often victim of attacks, in spite of the strong military ships in the vicinity. The Asian Glory is car carrier built in 1994 and sailing for the fleet of Zodiac Maritime Agencies Ltd. The ship has overall length of 184.07 meters and a beam of 30.60 meters. The Asian Glory has moulded depth of 31.86 meters and summer draft of 8.82 meters. These measurements are giving for the vessel large cargo space and capacity for 4,363 units. The car carrier has summer deadweight of 13,363 metric tons and displacement of 27,739 metric tons. The Asian Glory is quite large vessel with gross tonnage of 44,818 gross tons and net tonnage of 13,445 net tons. The TPC value of the ship is 44.770 metric tons and we already discussed the importance of this number. The car carrier Asian Glory has main engine MAN 8UEC560L, which is giving power of 9,058 kW. This power is enough for the ship to reach service speed of 18.0 knots. This speed is enough for the ship to operate profitable for the ship-owner. The fuel consumption at service speed is 39.00 metric tons of heavy fuel per day and 0.10 metric tons of diesel oil per day. The optimized shape and engine are giving high productivity and very profitable service of the ship.
The cargo vessel is sailing under UK flag and covered all the requirements of IMO, SOLAS and MARPOL. The ship has IMO number 9070474, MMSI number 235007790 and call sign MFLG8. The ship is sailing in the Pacific Ocean and during the last voyage was sailing from Singapore to Saudi Arabia. Quite strange fact was that the vessel was hijacked on more than 650 nautical miles from the shore, which is claimed as quite secure distance. Asian Glory is quite modern and good serviced vessel, which has large cargo capacity and very reliable engine.
5 января автомобилевоз Asian Glory прибыло к побережью Сомали. Как полагают ВМС ЕС, рыболовецкое судно под флагом Пакистана Shahbaig использовалось в качестве мобильной базы пиратов в ходе захвата Asian Glory.
