Arctic Sea to Deliver Shipment

Malta – The Arctic Sea, believed to be hijacked by pirates, prepares to set sail on Thursday to finish its original mission. The ship is carrying $2 million worth of lumber headed for Algeria.

The Arctic Sea is currently being held in Malta, where Russian investigators released control over the ship after an investigation found no weapons. Fifteen sailors have been sent back to Russia, including the four who stayed on board. Fourteen new sailors have flown in to Malta to continue the journey.
