Seven pirates armed with guns and knives boarded a Ro-Ro cargo ship underway. They took control of the vessel, took the crew hostage and stole crew cash, personal effects, and ship’s properties. As the pirates were unable to navigate the ship professionally, the ship was grounded. The crew fought back, disarming the pirates before retreating into the citadel. Due to unsuccessful attempt to break into the citadel, the pirates left the ship. The Sierra Leone authorities were notified who later boarded the ship for investigation.
