Pirates hijack ship with 23 Indian sailors aboard near Nigeria

PAUL OHIA ABUJA: An oil tanker with 23 Indian sailors aboard was today hijacked by pirates off the shores of Nigeria, the third such attack in over two weeks in the Gulf of Guinea. 

International Maritime Bureau (IMB) officials said the Singapore-owned vessel, MT Abu Dhabi Star, which was carrying fuel, was sailing towards the open sea when it was hijacked. Twenty three Indian sailors were on board the oil tanker operated by the Dubai-based company, Pioneer Ship Management Services LLC. Pat Adamson, the company's spokesperson, told that all the crew on the tanker are Indians. 

"There was a call from one of the crew members to the management company saying the vessel was boarded by pirates but nobody was harmed," he said. "Pirates have not yet established contact with the company," Adamsan said, adding "we have not got any report of loot so far." 

"We understand that a naval ship is on the way to intercept the vessel," he said. Earlier IMB said the Nigerian authorities had been notified of the attack and were taking action. It said the sailors had locked themselves in a safe room to avoid harm by the attackers who are suspected to be oil thieves from Nigeria's Niger Delta region. 

Last month, pirates had hijacked and looted two oil tankers off nearby Togo. The ships and all crew members were later freed. Also, an oil vessel was seized last week by pirates, off the Coast of Togolese capital of Lome and released few days later near Nigeria with its 23 Russian crew members.

Gold hits peak as festive season nears

KATHMANDU, Aug 22: Gold price hit a new record of Rs 58,050 per tola (11.644 gm) in the domestic market on Wednesday after its prices rallied in the international bullion market.

The precious yellow metal was traded at Rs 57,700 per tola in the domestic market over the past three days, when its international price hovered around US $1,623 per troy ounce.  

 But as gold rallied by $15 per troy ounce, dealers on Wednesday jacked up its rate by Rs 350 per tola, compared to the previous day.

“The price rose in the domestic market because gold became expensive in the international market itself," Manik Ratna Shakya, vice president of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers´ Association (Negosida) told Republica. 

“Rupee´s depreciation vis-à-vis US dollar is the other factor that made gold expensive here.”

The rise in prices, however, did not deter the daily sales of the yellow metal, according to the traders. According to them, daily demand for gold has jumped to around 20 kg from around 15 kg recorded before in mid-August.

“Demand for gold increases during festive and wedding seasons. We are hopeful that rise in gold price will not affect our sales,” said Shakya.
