The pirates’ skiff attacked cargo ship near Malaysia and hijacked it. The pirates attacked the vessel, which was operating on regular route near the South Asian island in Pacific ocean. The pirates were armed with guns and automatic weapons and closed the ship, without any suspicion from the navigation officer of the vessel. When the pirate boat was noticed the cargo ship tried to maneuver for escaping, but without any success and the ship was hijacked. The pirates harried the vessel and stole technology equipment, money and mobile phones from the crew. After stoling everything they were able to carry the pirates left the vessel and the cargo ship continued the voyage. On board of the cargo ship were 13 crew members and there are no injured people during the attack.
This is the first similar accident during the last year in the region of Malaysia, but the authorities advice the vessel to pass carefully through the region. The region is full with small boats, fishing vessels and other type ships and sometimes among them there are pirates, who may get close to the cargo ship and later attack it.
