Managers of the Galaxy Leader cargo ship on Tuesday renewed calls for Yemen's Houthi militants to release the vehicle carrier's 25 crew, who have been held for seven months.The militants used helicopters to attack the Bahamas-flagged ship on Nov. 19. They captured the Bulgarian ship master and chief officer, along with 17 Filipinos and other sailors from Ukraine, Mexico and Romania, STAMCO Ship Management Co Ltd said in a statement.
The International Chamber of Shipping, which represents ship owners, has called the Houthi attacks "unacceptable acts of aggression which threaten the lives of innocent seafarers and the safety of merchant shipping".Last week, Houthis made direct strikes on two ships - the Liberia-flagged Tutor coal carrier and Palau-flagged Verbena, which was loaded with wood construction material.
