Unknown hijackers have captured an oil tanker with 900,000 litres on board and sailed it into Indonesian waters, Malaysian officials were cited as saying in a news report.
The MT Vier Harmoni vessel was believed to be sailing from the Malaysian port of Tanjung Pelepas when it was hijacked on Monday, BBC reported today.
The ship, whose cargo is estimated to be worth £300,000, is now thought to be off the Indonesian island of Batam.
