Dude.I mean, DUUUUUUUUUUDDDDEE!
The attack occurred a day after Beijing said it was considering sending warships to the area to help battle piracy.
Another picture shows crew members gathered on deck who tried to repel the boarders with water cannon and beer bottles.
Despite their best efforts the nine pirates clambered aboard after tying up alongside. The 30 Chinese crew then locked themselves in their accommodation area -which includes their sleeping rooms, mess rooms and recreation area - to prevent the bandits from entering the ship itself.
The ship's captain, Peng Weiyuan, told Chinese TV that the crew used 'water cannon, self-made incendiary bombs, beer bottles and other missiles to fight the pirates' during the five-hour stand-off.
'Thirty minutes later, the pirates gestured to us for a ceasefire then the helicopters from the joint fleet came to our help.'
