Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Mt-Eureka

Indonesia is intensifying its diplomatic efforts to free four of its citizens who are currently held captive on the hijacked tanker 'Honour 25'. This vessel was captured by Somali pirates on April 21-22 near Hafun in Somalia's Puntland region while transporting petroleum products. The 'Honour 25', which carries a diverse crew including four Indonesians, ten Pakistanis, along with members from India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka, has been a focal point of negotiations since the incident. On May 18, Indonesia's Foreign Ministry reported that talks are ongoing, involving local Somali authorities, the crew management company, and various other stakeholders. These negotiations have provided a glimmer of hope for a resolution in the near future. The Indonesian government remains actively engaged via its diplomatic mission, alongside other agencies, to ensure the safe return of the crew members. Reports indicate that the Indonesian sailors are in good health, have sufficient supplies, and are receiving their salaries while in captivity. The 'Honour 25' was en route to Mogadishu carrying approximately 18,500 barrels of oil at the time of its seizure.

Disturbing images have emerged online, depicting armed assailants onboard the hijacked vessel 'Eureka', with several crew members seen kneeling on the deck off the coast of Somalia. Among the crew are eight Egyptian citizens, who are currently being held captive following the ship's seizure in the Gulf of Aden region. Egypt’s Foreign Ministry has confirmed that those sailors are alive and in stable condition. The ministry is actively coordinating with international partners, maritime organizations, and regional authorities to monitor the situation and work towards the safe release of the crew. Ongoing communication efforts with the ship and the involved parties aim to resolve the crisis as developments continue to unfold.
