Ship missing

A ship owned by Al Rashid Shipping Dubai is reported to be missing in Somali waters and may have been seized, a Kenyan maritime official said.

"It has been reported that the vessel is missing or has been detained in Somali waters on account of a commercial dispute between the owner and other interested parties," Andrew Mwangura, of the East African Seafarers Assistance Programme, said in an email to Reuters.

The ship had a crew of 14 Indians but there were no other details yet, he said.
