The pirates left 10 of the 16 crew members on board, kidnapping the remaining six and taking them to shore in Nigeria. All"are in a relatively good health condition given the difficult circumstances they have been under in the last more than five weeks,” Andreasen said in the statement. Anders Ostergaard, the CEO of Monjasa, which is based in Fredericia, western Denmark, thanked those who had helped to “resolve this awful situation.”
