It has been reported to the UKMTO that there has been a suspicious approach on a vessel approximately 50nm Southeast of Al Mukha, Yemen. Two green-hulled small crafts came within 0.5-1nm, no weapons were sighted, and the crew and vessel are safe. UPDATE: The approaching craft were travelling between 25-30 knots and each had six persons onboard in identical clothing. They aborted their approach when the armed security team on board displayed their weapons. |
