Another HiJacking

[Kelvin Davies]

A news item on the BBC at 07:20 this morning says the UK flagged tanker St James Park; IMO 9072836 appears to have been hijacked in the Gulf of Aden area.
Apparently, the ship sent out an SOS on Monday and now seems to have altered course toward Somalia.

I find it interesting that it is British flagged, but yet there do not appear to be any Brits onboard.  I wasn't aware that the UK has become an FOC.
