Migrants hijack Turkish ship in Italian waters.
A Turkish ro-ro cargo ship, GALATA SEAWAYS, was hijacked by a group of 10-15 migrants, at least 2-3 of whom were armed, off the Italian coast. The crew managed to muster in the citadel, while the bridge watch remained on the bridge. The Italian Navy responded and a Mariners team boarded the ship, freeing it. The ship is now approaching Naples, and a search for other perpetrators is underway.
