On 27 May a Mongolian fishing vessel carrying South Korean and foreign crew was apparently hijacked in waters off the Somali coast.  A South Korean military official said Saturday that South Korea’s antipiracy naval contingent, the Cheonghae Unit, was ordered to the site after the Seohyeon 389 went out of contact. The 234-ton Mongolian-flagged fishing vessel was traveling from Indonesia to Oman when radio contact was lost shortly after midnight on Saturday. Twenty-one crew members — three South Korean and 18 Indonesian — were on board the squid-catching vessel owned by a South Korean businessman with South African nationality.
