Honour 25 Hijacking: 17 Crew Held Captive for Over Two Months as Food and Water Run Out - News and Statistics

Jul 3, 2026 Regional maritime security states have called for urgent international intervention as the situation worsens aboard the Palau-flagged tanker Honour 25, where 17 crew members have been held captive for over two months, according to a statement from the chair of the Djibouti Code of Conduct/Jeddah Amendment. The vessel was hijacked on April 24 and remains under pirate control. The latest communication from the master indicates all crew are alive, but five individuals, including the master, are experiencing health issues. Food supplies have been reduced to rice, and available water is unsafe for consumption. The chair, speaking on behalf of signatory states, described the humanitarian situation as critical and warned that further delays would heighten risks to the lives and wellbeing of those onboard. The statement also expressed concern for the crews of the Sward and Eureka, who remain held captive under similar conditions. The most recent report from the Honour 25 suggests the crew are trapped between competing armed groups. Pirates guarding the vessel exchanged gunfire with a rival pirate faction attempting to approach the ship, exposing the seafarers to immediate and unpredictable danger. The chair urged the federal government of Somalia, the flag state, the shipowner, insurers, humanitarian organizations, regional partners, and the wider international community to intensify diplomatic, operational, and legal efforts to secure the crew's immediate release. The statement praised the IMO secretary-general for keeping the seafarers' plight on the international agenda and commended Pakistan's High Commission in London for its engagement with flag state authorities, humanitarian partners, and international organizations. These incidents highlight the resurgence of piracy in the Western Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden, with Splash reporting two additional attacks yesterday. 1.
