NEW DELHI — Feb 6, 2018

The crew of an oil tanker that had been hijacked by pirates has regained control of the ship, Anglo-Eastern, a ship management company, said today.

Pirates hijacked the merchant vessel Marine Express, which was carrying about 14,900 tons of gas, last Thursday.

"All crew members are reported to be safe and well and the cargo intact," Anglo-Eastern said.
