From my reading of the article — the pirates SUCCEEDED..
They had ALREADY hijacked the ship before their “skiffs” had been sunk...
The pirates now have the ship full of benzene...
THAT would make a spectacular explosion....
How we get the ship back, without blowing it up is going to be a challenge..
Cut it off or disable the ship and kill EVERYONE who resists our boarding and retaking the ship.....

I agree that it reads that way. Have to wait for some update to be sure.

Good catch,
r-r. I read it that way, too. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.
