LONDON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - The operator of a tanker stormed
by special forces in the English Channel said on Monday that no
crew members were injured in the operation and thanked the
British authorities for their timely and professional response.
"The UK authorities had been advised by the Master that
stowaways had been found on board and that he was concerned for
the safety of the crew due to the increasingly hostile behaviour
of the stowaways," said Navios Tanker Management, which operates
the crude oil tanker "Nave Andromeda".
"Happily no crew members were injured and all are safe and
well," it said.
