On 5–6 May 2010 Somali pirates hijacked {{MV|Moscow University}}, a Liberian-flagged Russian tanker, in the Gulf of Aden. Her crew was freed by the Russian Navy destroyer {{ship|Russian destroyer|Marshal Shaposhnikov||2}} the following day.

Hijacking

The Russian tanker MV Moscow University ({{lang-ru|link=no|Московский университет|translit=Moskovskiy Universitet}}) was attacked on 5 May 2010 by Somali pirates {{convert|500|nmi|km|lk=in}} off the coast of Somalia. The ship fired water cannons and flare pistols at the pirates, and attempted to outmaneuver them, but its constant maneuvers forced it to a speed of nine knots after one hour, after which the pirates attached an assault ladder and began boarding.[1] The captain then ordered that all food and water be hidden in the steering compartment, and activated the ship's distress beacon, after which he and the crew barricaded themselves in the engine room, where they repulsed two attempts by the pirates to force their way in. The pirates would hold the ship for 20 hours.[2]

Rescue

A Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion responded to the MV Moscow University distress signal on the 5 May, and was able to locate the tanker, dead in the water, with three small skiffs alongside - indicating a Somali pirate hijacking. Communications were established between the ship's captain and the Australian Orion aircraft which then relayed communications to the Russian {{sclass-|Udaloy|destroyer}} {{ship|Russian destroyer|Marshal Shaposhnikov||2}}.

Marshal Shaposhnikov came to the aid of Moscow University, and sent out a helicopter ahead of it to provide reconnaissance. It took the destroyer half a day to reach Moscow University. Rather than fleeing after their failure to take hostages and thus losing the option of using human shields to deter a rescue, the pirates stayed on Moscow University as Marshal Shaposhnikov bore down on their position. The pirates fired at the reconnaissance helicopter, and the helicopter returned fire, killing one pirate. The captain confirmed to the Russian forces by radio that the crew were safe. Two warning shots were fired at the pirates, who then claimed that they had hostages. Marshal Shaposhnikov then opened fire on Moscow University. Under the cover of this fire, speedboats carrying Naval Infantry then approached the ship, and the troops climbed on board. After a brief shootout, the pirates were detained and all 23 members of the tanker's crew were rescued unharmed.

After the pirates had been disarmed and had their ladders and boats seized, they were set adrift in an inflatable boat after being provided with food and water but with no navigation equipment, some {{convert|300|nmi|km}} off Somalia. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, they did not reach the coast and likely died at sea.[3]

In popular culture

In 2014, a Russian action film 22 minutes ({{lang-ru|22 минуты}}) was released that was inspired by the hijacking.[4]
