Pirates seized an Italian tanker with a crew of 23 in the Gulf of Guinea on July 24 2011, the ANSA news agency said. The Rbd Anema e Core's crew includes 20 Filipino seamen, two Italians and a Romanian captain. Three pirates managed to board the ship 23 nautical miles south of Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin. Italy's foreign ministry said its crisis unit was in touch with the Naples-based shipowner and following the situation closely. Comment: it’s a second or third attack on a tanker during last several days, and we don’t know any details of previous ones – were vessels just robbed, or was it something else. We don’t even know whether these are hijacks as we know them, or short-time control of the vessels.
