A Liberia-flagged tanker has been attacked near the Yemeni port of Al Mukalla.
TradeWinds understands the vessel was the 8,900-dwt Fair Apollon (built 2009), owned by Greece’s Fairdeal Group Management.
Shots were fired at the ship on Sunday and security personnel responded by firing back. No injuries were reported.
The assailants were approaching the anchored vessel off Mukalla at relatively low speed with two Yemeni-type skiffs, Special Anti Piracy Unit (SAPU) said.
