An oil tanker owned by Navig8 Product Tankers came under attack in the Gulf of Oman yesterday, in the second such incident in as many days.
EU Navfor said a skiff with six men onboard approached the 74,996-dwt Navig8 Providence (built 2016) 100 nautical miles east of Muscat.
“It is understood that the skiff moved towards the tanker, there was an exchange of small arms fire between the suspected pirates and the maritime security team onboard the tanker,” EU Navfor added.
