南韩货船在近新加坡海峡处遭海盗洗劫
据路透社报导,一艘南韩货船,在近新加坡海峡100英里处遭海盗洗劫,海盗劫走约1万3000美元现金和船员的手机、衣物等随身财物。
南韩海洋水产部消息指出,一艘逾四万吨级的南韩货船CK BlueBell,从巴西出发,欲前往韩国仁川。
然而,在今晨约4.25分,在距新加坡海峡入口100英里(约160公里)附近,该船只被海盗攻击。
七名持枪海盗搭乘快艇登上船只,期间有船员被殴打,在搜刮船上财物后半个小时就乘快艇逃逸。不过该起海盗洗劫事件中未有人员严重伤亡报告。
南韩海洋水产部指出,普通货船以低于15海节速度航行,但海盗驾驶20海节的快艇赶上和接近货船。目前有关货船已恢复航行,该部也提醒经过该海域的船只应注意提防海盗袭击。
