The Arctic Sea is thought to have headed out into the Atlantic Ocean
Russian navy ships are hunting in the Atlantic for a 4,000-tonne cargo ship that vanished more than two weeks ago, triggering an international mystery.
Observers have suggested the ship was hijacked, possibly because of a Russian commercial dispute.
The Maltese-flagged ship, the Arctic Sea, has a 15-strong Russian crew.
Carrying timber reportedly worth $1.8m (£1.1m), it sailed from Finland and had been scheduled to dock in the Algerian port of Bejaia on 4 August.
