China Maritime Search and Rescue Center (MSA) said Feb. 6 that the ship has never been hijacked, and is now sailing safely with escort of the Chinese anti-piracy navy fleet.
Tien Hau, which was registered in Hong Kong, China, had been followed by a suspicious boat for a while, but it was never attacked or hijacked.
Earlier, Yemeni Interior Ministry had said the ship was hijacked by pirates some 20 kilometers off the Yemeni island of Al-Tair off the city port of al-Hudaida, and was heading to Somali coast.
