The merchant vessel Beluga Nomination was captured by pirates on Saturday.
The ship was attacked by armed pirates from a skiff, 722km north of the Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean.
There is no information on the whereabouts of the 12-strong crew (Polish, Filipino, Russian and Ukrainian), but the EU Navy Force said it was monitoring the situation.
Beluga Nomination is an Antiguan and Barbudan-flagged, German-owned general cargo vessel and was on its way to Port Victoria in the Seychelles when it was attacked.
As the pirates boarded the vessel, the crew went into a citadel but the raiders were eventually able to enter.
