Twelve Georgian citizens are on board of a ship seized by Somali pirates, owned by company "Ship management Bhatia".
The ship flying the flag of the Marshall Islands was seized by pirates in shores of Nigeria a few days ago.
Citizens of other countries are also on the ship.
The company "Ship management Bhatia" claims that sailors' heath state is normal and they keep in touch with the pirates. The company said negotiations are underway to release the ship and sailors.
Still 15 Georgian sailors are in captivity of Somali pirates for more than a year. Negotiations for their release have not yet yielded any results.
