The ships are always held for ransom. Somalia has no refineries. No way to offload the oil. I don't even know if that port is deep enough for a tanker that deep.
A fleet of international warships operate a protective screen off Somalia. So how did they get this ship? They highjacked it off of Kenya. Also possible that warships never knew the highjacking occurred until that tanker was in a northern Somalian port.
Curious is the military comment on how professional these pirates are.
