THE Chinese maritime authority said today that no Chinese was found aboard the ship hijacked by Somalia pirates yesterday near Seychelles.

After contacting its counterparts in European Union, the Chinese Marine Search and Rescue Center (CMSRC) learned there were 26 crew members on the St. Vincent and Grenadines flagged cargo ship, or RAK AFRIKANA, which were hijacked in the Indian Ocean waters near Seychelles. They are Indian, Pakistan and Tanzanian, the CMSRC said on its website.

On Sunday, regional maritime officials in Kenya said all the 23 crew members on the ship are Chinese.

The ship is heading toward Somali at a speed of 12 kilometers an hour, CMSRC said.
