Join us as we dive deep into the harrowing experience of Chirag Bahri, an engineer held hostage by Somali pirates for 8 months aboard the chemical tanker Marida Marguerite in 2010. In this video, Chirag, now the International Operations Manager at ISWAN, recounts his chilling ordeal, from the moment pirates boarded his vessel in the Gulf of Aden to the final negotiation of a $5.5 million ransom for their release.

During this near decade-long career at sea, Chirag faced unimaginable challenges, but this encounter with maritime piracy changed his life forever. He speaks about:

The psychological toll of being held captive
The conditions aboard the ship during captivity
The structural issues in Somalia contributing to piracy
The lack of support and negligence from shipping companies
The 8 months of negotiations with pirates
Now advocating for seafarers' welfare with ISWAN, Chirag’s story is a powerful reminder of the risks seafarers face in the high seas.
