The United Kingdom’s Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Centre says the small craft which approached an oil tanker off the coast of Yemen has moved away from the vessel, but remains “active in the area and could possibly be a risk to other vessels”.
“CSO (company security officer) reports the vessel has minor damage on the bridge and confirms it’s one suspicious small craft with four POB (persons on board), armed with [an] RPG,” UKMTO adds in a statement.
In a separate statement, UKMTO says the crew of the vessel “are reported as safe and the vessel is continuing on its voyage”.
