Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 11/09/20264/15 A new NavWarn has been issued for a piracy hijacking in the Gulf of Aden overnight. This is in the same vicinity as the earlier attempted hijacking reported by the UKMTO. I will be keeping watch to see if this adds to the over 90 crew members currently being held in Somalia by pirates. 150 0

Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 11/09/20266/15 Iraq's oil ministry said the reported hull damage was minor, the crew uninjured and no cargo had leaked. Port officials described a drone strike and fire; the ministry left the source unknown. That distinction matters: the attack is reported, but a spill from this ship is not. 140 0
