A Greek-owned but Singapore-flagged liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanker, York, with a crew of 17, has been seized by Somali pirates off the coast of Kenya. The fishing vessel, Golden Wave, also seized by pirates on the 9th of this month was seen nearby. The two seizures are believed to be related. A pirate, Hasan told Reuters by phone that the tanker was heading towards Garad in Somalia. Currently 19 vessels with 428 hostages are held by Somali pirates.
