I heard that reported on foxnews.
"The 17,000-ton Maersk Alabama was
carrying emergency relief to Mombasa, Kenya,
at the time it was hijacked, said Peter Beck-Bang, spokesman for the Copenhagen-based container shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk. A Kenya-based diplomat identified the crew as American, but Navy Spokesman Lt. Nathan Christensen declined to release details until family members of the crew are notified."
