A homemade bomb was left on the Thai product tanker captured by pirates on Friday.
The tanker had just left Singapore at the time of the attack. The crew were held hostage while another vessel came alongside and stole the fuel.
There are no reports of injuries, but the master requested the assistance of navy and maritime police to diffuse the bomb after the pirates left.
