MV Abdullah, which was hijacked by pirates on Tuesday (12 March), has dropped anchor about 20 miles away from Garacad, Somalia coast.
This information was obtained from the International Maritime Bureau.
No one from the pirates has communicated with the ship owners till now.
It may take a few days more, two-three days or even more to get the first response from pirates.
Pirates took control of the Bangladeshi ship MV Abdullah in the Indian Ocean on Tuesday (12 March) around 1:30pm Bangladesh time.
The vessel is owned by SR Shipping, a Chattogram-based company owned by KSRM Group.
Meanwhile, authorities concerned said it might take days before an operation can be launched to rescue the hijacked ship and its crew.
Shahriar Jahan Rahat, deputy managing director of KSRM Group, told The Business Standard that the company will give the utmost importance in rescuing the 23 crew members on board when the communication process starts.
“They will kill us one by one if they do not get ransom,” these were the chilling words of a worker, Uddin Mohammad Nur, onboard the ship.
The crew on the ship could not be contacted after 6pm on Tuesday (12 March).
