Never mind Alieu, You're not who I think you are. I'm still not pleased  with 
your behind but I'll let your questions be. They are valuable. The answers  
are in the article. Sorry men. Try to talk more often so I'll not mistake you  
for someone else. You know the Sanyangs are my cousins so I don't wanna be  
displeased with you. Carry on. You know my name. Send me private mail so I can  
share some ideas with you. Now go away.

Rogue ship breaks arrest London,  29 October 2003
The one that got away

Multi-million dollar cargoes  are once again at risk of being stolen after a 
ship operated by an  organised group based in the Lebanon broke arrest from 
Banjul, Gambia, in  the early hours of 25th October 2003, warns ICC 
International 
Maritime  Bureau (IMB). 
CIUTA (IMO no.8030960) was one of at least two ships  operating in the 
Eastern 
Mediterranean, North African and West African  coasts, duping shippers out of 
cargoes by offering bargain freight rates.  Instead of discharging the 
cargoes at their destinations, the ship s have  been changing identity and 
deviating 
to other ports to illegally discharge  the goods. 
"It is all too easy at present for criminal vessels such as  this to change 
their identity, disappear and avoid the legal sanctions."  said IMB's 
director, 
Captain Pottengal Mukundan. "Until the embossing of  the IMO number on the 
hull of the vessel becomes mandatory, it is  extremely difficult to locate 
and 
seize the vessel in another port."  
He added:"The marking of the IMO number visibly on the hull of the vessel  is 
part of the ISPS Code and will be phased in over the next few years,  after 
the Code comes into effect on 1st July 2004." 
The first reported  cargo theft by this group came to light in September 2002 
when a  1969-built general cargo ship, LUCKY III loaded a steel cargo in 
Istanbul  and headed for Lagos, Nigeria. The ship subsequently deviated and 
finished  up illegally selling her cargo in Lattakia, Syria. In November 
2002, the  
same ship, having changed her name to STAR and flying the Tongan flag, was  
chartered to take a consignment of polyethylene from Libya to Morocco.  Once 
again, she headed to Lattakia and discharged the cargo under false  
documentation. 
The IMB has learned that since leaving Lattakia, the ship  has again changed 
names. 
In December 2002, PANCIU, a 1980-built  general-cargo ship, flying the North 
Korean flag, loaded a shipment of  bagged cement in Alexandria, Egypt. The 
shipment was intended for two  consignees in Conakry, Guinea. Ship's identity 
was 
changed at sea to CIUTA  and she deviated to Banjul, Gambia, where the cement 
was sold to a local  buyer. Fortunately, the ship was apprehended after an 
alert local shipping  agent in Banjul tipped off the IMB and the local 
authorities. She was  arrested under a court order of the Gambian Supreme 
Court. Since 
her  arrest, two armed naval guards were stationed aboard 24-hours. The ship  
however absconded in the early hours of 25 October 2003, with Mr Famara  
Faye, 
one of the guards, still onboard. 
Given the previous history of  the ship it is highly likely that CIUTA will 
be 
re-named, re-flagged and  return to cargo theft operations.
