It doesn't seem likely IMO. At least in Somalia, once they board the ship they can take it to a friendly port and hold the ship for ransom. But where could they possibly go in Northern Europe?

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. EDIT 2: Link to AIS iternary for "ARCTIC SEA" http://marinetraffic.com/ais/datashe...app=&B1=Search |

Medvedev has ordered the Russian Navy to search for it, including some nuclear subs apparently:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8197248.stm Very random occurance, unusual to get pirates in European waters, well, this side of the 15th century anyway. Russian Mafia perhaps?
