Cargo ship MV Suez, which was recently released by pirates, was attacked again this morning, and when it contacted the Indian Navy for help, their request was turned down, the ship’s captain told dnaindia.com.

“Four Somali pirates got on to the ship early morning and started firing at us," said Ravinder Singh, the cargo ship’s captain. “We fired parachute rockets at them and threw containers in an attempt to fend ourselves. One of them was injured in the process, which scared them off and they fled.”

When the ship contacted the Indian Navy, they were promised help in the form of patrolling.

“But they never sent any helicopters to look over us in spite of promising to come around for vigilance,” Singh said. “And now they have stopped taking our calls. We are disappointed with the navy. The Pakistani government was faster in responding to our plea.”

The Pakistani Navy has dispatched its warship PNS Babur to escort MV Suez safely Salalah in Oman. Food supplies, medicines and water are among the things that the warship is carrying for the exhausted crew members, some of who are ill too.

The captian also confirmed that Pakistani helicopters are now patrolling the area around the ship. "The choppers will stick around for protection till the warship arrives here," Captain Singh said.
