Nairobi: Somalia pirates have hijacked a second ship operated by shipping group Stolt-Nielsen, a regional maritime official said on Tuesday.
Gunmen seized the Stolt Strength in the Gulf of Aden on Monday, nearly two months after they hijacked Stolt Valor, a chemical tanker on its way to India.
"We are trying to determine how many people are on board and where it was headed," said Andrew Mwangura of the East African Seafarers' Association that monitors piracy.
