Crew of Dutch cargo ship safely transferred to Djibouti, says EU maritime mission

DUBAI, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Crew from the Dutch-flagged cargo ship Minervagracht have been safely transferred to Djibouti after an attack with an explosive device required them to be rescued by helicopter the previous day, the EU maritime mission Aspides said on Tuesday.

The vessel remains adrift in the Red Sea following the attack that set it on fire and required the rescue of its 19 crew members, according to Aspides and the vessel's operator.
