Esbern Snare rescued crew from Beluga vessel

The Danish warship Esbern Snare rescued two crew members from the German owned heavy lift carrier Beluga Nomination, which last week was hijacked by Somalia pirates in the Indian Ocean far from Somalia. During the transfer to Somalia’s coast the ship was attacked by a patrol boat from the Seychelles Coast Guard. Two crew members managed to flee Beluga Nomination in one of the ship’s lifeboats.
