A total of eight fishing pirate ships were spotted in Icelandic waters in the southwest Reykjaneshryggur area yesterday. The Icelandic Coast Guard plane Synar spotted the ship Ulla, from Georgia, apparently being dragged on a tow line by Panama's Polestar, a ship already on the blacklist. Also in company were other ships from Georgia and one from Honduras. Upon being spotted, the captain of Polestar reportedly disconnected his tow line with Ulla and turned back. As Iceland has no standing military, all the coast guard can do is report pirate ships to international maritime authorities. - pfn News News in English Mest lesið Týndu vagni með jólamáltíðum sjúklinga á bráðamóttökunni Innlent Margt bendi til að Rússar hafi haft aðkomu að flugslysinu Erlent Rúta rann yfir rangan vegarhelming út í móa Innlent Alvarlegt bílslys í Öræfum Innlent Stuðningsmenn Assad drápu 14 ráðuneytisstarfsmenn Erlent Grímuskylda á Landspítalanum Innlent Rólegt á aðfangadag en mikil aðsókn í viðtalstíma í desember Innlent Gamla ríkið falt og milljónir fylgja Innlent Nokkrir látnir í alvarlegu rútuslysi í Noregi Erlent Sæstrengur milli Eistlands og Finnlands rofinn Erlent
