An EU Naval Force warship and Maritime Patrol Aircraft closed the scene to search for survivors.

During the aerial search, EU Naval Force Maritime Patrol Aircraft sighted two life boats on a Somali beach approximately 14 miles north of the position of the Albedo.  No members of the MV Albedo crew or pirates were sighted in or near the lifeboats.
