Pirates seize tankers off Somalia

Pirates have seized two European-owned tankers off
the coast of Somalia in the past day, officials have said.

The Greek-owned vessel Nipayia, with 19 crew on board,
was seized on Wednesday, the Nato Shipping Centre said.

The Norwegian-owned tanker Bow Asir was captured by
pirates on Thursday. It had a crew of 27 on board, the
Norwegian Shipowners' Association said.

The Gulf of Aden sees frequent attacks on merchant
vessels, accounting for 40% of 293 pirate attacks last
year.
