The hijackers gestured with their hands and obligated the sailors to kneel and crouch.

Two ship crew members were repeatedly beaten and suffered head wounds, and equipment and personal belongings were stolen. The assault, however, was not visible on the video that disseminated on social media.

It was the second time in six months that the REMAS was attacked by pirates.

The attack, which took place 76 miles from the port of Dos Bocas, was among five that were reported in a span of a week.

On Thursday morning, at least five armed pirates boarded the Mexican-based Campeche Maritime Service's Buccaneer vessel and subdued the crew of 75 before escaping with their personal belongings and equipment.
