The Somali pirates holding the Saudi oil tanker Sirius Star and its crew have moved the ship further north.
The move puts them only 20 miles (32km) from the MV Faina, a hijacked Ukrainian cargo ship carrying tanks.
While this puts them closer to US Navy ships shadowing the Faina, the area also has a greater concentration of other pirates.
Somali clan elder Abdisalan Khalif Ahmed said the ship moved Sunday to about 28 miles (45 kilometers) from its earlier location, putting it about 30 miles (50 kilometers) off the coast of the coastal village of Harardhere.
