Original Message Pirates have seized a Greek-owned ship with 23 people on board in the Gulf of Aden, the ship's managers say.

The Eleni P, which is managed by Eurobulk, was carrying a cargo of iron ore from the Black Sea to China.

Eurobulk's Marcos Vassilikos told media that pirates fired shots when they took the ship, but that the crew were not thought to have been injured.

The Eleni P's crew included 19 Filipinos as well as two Greeks, one Ukrainian and one Romanian, Mr Vassilikos said.

He said the ship was seized at about 0600 GMT, off the coast of Somalia.

It will be difficult for the Somali pirates to exert any money out of Greece, because the country is heavily dependent on other countries and organizations for financial help.
