The last AIS entry for this vessel is from July the 29th, which puts it smack dead center in the western end of the Channel.
From the story, it seemed they reported being boarded and that the assailants left after around 12 hours. The whole thing is very odd.
EDIT: According to AIS it sailed through the Baltic Sea, around Denmark, passing through the Skaggerag, entered the North Sea and proceded on a south-westerly course.
