Hijacked vessels to be escorted by Royal Navy

Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Merican, the president and chief executive officer of Petronas said that the two hijacked MISC vessels which have been released will be escorted by the Malaysian Navy to Djibouti. He said “All crew members on both vessels are safe and relatively healthy, although they feel traumatised. They are being attended to by our trauma team,” He added that “We delivered the money to them with the help of our navy ... it was cash on delivery. I cannot tell what we plan to do, then the pirates will know -- they are very Internet-savvy,”
