Dynacom Tankers Management said in a statement today that pirates had stolen a large amount of cargo. It said one crew member had been wounded but all were alive and accounted for.
The company did not say how many crew were on board and refused to provide any further details.
Dynacom thanked "European, North American and other international intelligence agencies" for their help. It said it had lost contact with the Kerala on Jan. 18 when it was off Luanda, and re-established contact with the ship yesterday.
