North Korean ship docks in Aden after pirate attack

The North Korean ship “Dan Hong Dai,” which Somali pirates attempted to capture two days ago arrived safely at the port of Aden on Monday. The ship, which was sailing in international waters, was saved by international coalition forces.

The ship was received at Aden port by a number of officials of the port and of the Yemeni Coast Guard, Gulf of Aden sector and the North Korean ambassador to Yemen, and the ship’s navigation agent.

A source in the Yemeni Coast Guard authority said that there were three injured crewmembers, who have been taken for treatment in an Aden hospital. The authority has offered all the necessary services, supplies and fuel for the vessel to continue its journey to its country, according to the source.

The navigational crew of the North Korean ship chose the port of Aden to drop anchor as it enjoys a high quality of services and medical facilities.
