UK authorities have identified a Delta Tankers ship as the target of one of the latest attacks on navigation by Yemen’s Houthi movement.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) also named a product carrier managed by Anglo-Eastern as the vessel in the vicinity of another explosion in the Red Sea.
The Royal Navy agency said the 162,000-dwt Delta Atlantica (built 2011) was the vessel at the centre of a multi-pronged attack 63 nautical miles (117 km) south-west of the Houthi-controlled Yemeni port of Hodeidah in the Red Sea.
