6.05.2010 Moscow University released
9.00 MT Novoship is pleased to inform that the crew of the oil tanker Moscow University and the vessel itself were released from the pirates who hijacked the tanker while it was proceeding eastbound from the Gulf of Aden. The company is expressing profound gratitude to the Russian Navy Command and the crew of the Marshal Shaposhnikov, major sub-marine ship of the Russian Pacific Fleet that carried out the operation keeping to the best tradition of the Russian naval mariners.
None of the 23 Russian seafarers on board have been hurt.
The key factor for making a decision on vessel releasing was certitude that crew members are safe in a shelter inaccessible to the pirates and there are no hazards to their lives and health.
Owing to timely and competent measures taken by the Master of the ship Yuriy Igorevich Tulchinskiy and his crew, the pirates failed to seize any crew member hostage and start the vessel after more than 20 hours of siege.
The Russian Navy headquarters and the Emergency response team of the Novorossiysk Shipping Company were dealing constantly preparing the rescue operation.
