This ship is owned by a US company and managed by a company in the Ukraine. Authorities believe the ship may have been captured by Somali pirates. If so, the M/V Sea Prince would be the fifth ship this year overtaken by Somalis. Fifteen attempts have been made to board ships in the region since the beginning of 2007.
