Win Far 161 (Chinese: 穩發161號) is a Taiwanese fishing vessel captured by Somali pirates on 6 April 2009 near the Seychelles.[1] The ship was released on 11 February 2010 after a ransom was paid, and after the ship had been used as a mother ship in the Maersk Alabama hijacking.[2] Two of the 30 crew had died during their time held hostage, due to malnutrition and neglect by their Somali captors.[3] The ship was likely captured by Abduwali Muse.[4][5]
After negotiation, the crew and the vessel were released by the pirates on 11 February 2010,[6] and returned to Kaohsiung, Taiwan on 5 March 2010.[7]
