hoang son sun: pirates cut out investor bagmen

The ship was released September 15 soon after her captors were paid USD 4.5 million in ransom. Investors in the piratical operation were shortchanged when the actual pirates left the vessel at 1900 hrs local without waiting for the bagmen for the backers.

Hoang Son Sun: goods have no insurance.

On the same day, Hoang Son – deputy director of Hoang Son – told Tuoi Tre the company is working with a UK-based firm specialized in negotiating all things related to hostage and pirates to rescue the victims.
“The ransom is estimated to hit US$5 million,” he added.
He said that the vessel itself is insured but that the staff and goods on the ship have no insurance.
