A cement carrier was attacked Sunday by pirates in the Gulf of Aden but has been reported as safe in the high-risk area off of Somalia.
The 9,146-dwt NACC Valbella (built 1992) was approached by the mother ship north of Somalia's eastern tip, according to information provided by maritime security provider LSS' Special Anti Piracy Unit (SAPU).
The Panama-flagged vessel is owned by Nova Marine Carriers, according to Clarksons.
