Pirates attack tanker off Yemen coast
    2020-05-19  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

PIRATES attacked a U.K.-flagged chemical tanker off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, Stolt Tankers said.

The vessel’s armed guards exchanged fire with two skiffs manned by six armed pirates, who approached the vessel Stolt Apal at high speed, the company said in a statement.

The vessel’s guards disabled one skiff and ended the pursuit. There were no injuries on board, and only the vessel’s bridge area sustained minor damage from bullets.

The Stolt Apal was around 140 kilometers off Yemen’s coast when the attack took place, and it has since resumed its voyage.

This was the ninth reported attack in the Gulf of Aden this year, according to maritime security firm Dryad Global.

Many vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden have armed guards aboard because of the threat of piracy.(SD-Agencies)
