M/V ST JAMES PARK
On the afternoon of 28 December the U.K Flagged Chemical Tanker the M/V ST JAMES PARK, owned by PHILBOX LIMITED, was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden whilst transiting the International Recognized Transit Corridor (IRTC).
EU NAVFOR has been monitoring the situation and can confirm that the ST JAMES PARK has now arrived off the pirate stronghold of Hobyo. The ship has a crew of 26, among them Filipinos (3), Russians (3), Georgians (1), Romanians (2), Bulgarians (5), Ukrainans (2), Polish (1), Indians (6) and Turkish (3). There are no UK citizens onboard.
The main tasks of EU NAVFOR mission Operation ATALANTA are to escort merchant vessels carrying food of the ‘World Food Program’ (WFP), the protection of vulnerable ships in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean and to deter and disrupt piracy

Would you have the names of the crew members on board the hijacked M/V St. James Park? Particularly, the 3 Filipino crew members?
