Strofades IV (Derna Port, Libya) - "Strofades IV" has broken its moorings, without port permission, and is heading out of Derna Harbour. The rear door of the ship is half closed, with convoy vehicle B7 stuck on it precariously. It is extremely dangerous. In the lower deck of the Ro-Ro (rollon rolloff) ship are held hostage: Including: 3 Libyans - (2 port authority policemen, with Colonel Salahuddin Rashin, Manager of Derna Port) 1 Moroccan 1 Algerian 2 Irish 6 UK nationals The violent Greek owner who is also its captain of "Strofades IV" has just disembarked (as at 22.50 GMT) through a side door of the ship, onto a speed boat. His speed boat has made for another cargo vessel in Derna the harbour - "Odin Finder". None of our guys now know who is in charge of Strofades IV, or where it is destined to go. The ship is empty, apart from the hostages and single convoy vehicle jammed in the doorway. It is making rapid headway to get out to sea. The matter is a serious breach of every maritime law possible. We have asked all relevant Embassies to supply urgent, immediate, consular assistance. We are EXTREMELY concerned for the safety of all the nationals on board.
From the Road to Hope Facebook Group: Road to Hope Convoyers are being hijacked by a Greek ship in the Libyan sea near the port of Darna (Libya). Immediate action required to save our brothers on the ship. The captain of the ship has taken some of the humanitarian aid workers hostages. Please get in touch with the international media as soon as possible. We can be contacted on facebook. Keep our brothers in your prayers. Our brothers are being hijacked even though they wish to only help the people of Gaza.
