Further details have emerged about the pirate attack on the “Ocean Rig Poseidon” drillship off Tanzania.
Pirates attacked the 228-metre long vessel from a small boat at approximately 08:00 as she was sailing.
The pirate started firing with AK47s and assault rifles after climbing aboard. Guards onboard the ship answered the assault by returning fire, overpowering the attackers and taking them prisoner.
