All sailors aboard the abducted “Malaspina castle” ship are alive and well. This was announced by Tsvetan Gadev – manager of “B Navy Bulgaria” EOOD, a licensed crew company.

He added that the sailors were given several minutes to talk with their families on mobile phones. They didn’t complain about their health. The Bulgarian sailors told their relatives that they did not lack food and water and they are not treated badly.

Gadev added that negotiations have already begun, but the sum that the pirates demand for the freedom of the hostages is still undisclosed.
