The Danish freighter Leopard, who Thursday was declared to be hijacked, have allegedly been freed from a Turkish warship. That writes the shipping newspaper Tradewinds with reference to sources. The information is so far unconfirmed.
According to Tradewinds Turkish troops arrived this afternoon on board the Danish freighter. It happened after the warship helicopter early in the day had found there was no sign of activity on board.
There was allegedly no pirates on board the Danish freighter when the Turkish soldiers boarded the ship.
The soldiers began to break into the saferoom where its six-man crew - including two Danes - is believed to be. But there is currently no additional information concerning the crew's fate.
It should be emphasized that the information is not confirmed by other sources.
