Gard has warned shipowners about the use of drones after a vessel entered into the club was detained in the Suez Canal for using such a device.
The club says that shortly after the drone had been launched from the vessel, the master was requested by the Suez Canal Authorities (SCA) to drop anchor.
During the SCA's subsequent inspection, they are said to have confiscated the drone and its memory card and the vessel was detained in anticipation of further investigations by the Egyptian authorities.
