MSC ORION
When the 'MSC Orion' was attacked by drones on April 26 in the Arabian Sea , she was aboout 375 miles off the Yemeni coast, sailing between East Africa and the port of Salalah, having apparently rounded the Cape to avoid having to travel through the Red Sea. The 'MSC Orion' had departed from the port of Sines on April 6 and was last reported by AIS passing the Comoros on April 24. After the attack, wreckage from the drone was apparently discovered on the vessel. No serious damage was reported. There were no injuries to the crew. It was, however, the furthest from Houthi-controlled sections of Yemen that a missile or drone attack has been carried out, meaning that no ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden or the Arabian Sea off the Yemen coast can be considered safe from attack. The 'MSC OrionÄ, on charter to the Swiss/Italian company, ise connected with London-based Zodiac Maritime, which in turn forms part of Israeli millionaire shipowner Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group. Her nominal ownership is listed as Bafalo Shipping Inc., care of MSC in Switzerland, with the ship management also in the hands of MSC via its Cyprus office since the ship entered service in January 2020.
DF MYSTRAS
The 'Angleviken' came across a fisherman floating in the Java Sea for two days in a life ring, 12 nautical miles from land. The master of the 'Avgleviken', Captain Bhanu Kundi, reportedly sighted an object floating in the water approximately 2.5 nautical miles ahead of the tanker while they were sailing in the Java Sea. He maneuvered the vessel and sounded the general alarm with a man overboard announcement when they realized it was a person floating in the water. The crew of Indian, Ukrainian, and Filipino seafarers started the rescue operation. They successfully recovered the man in just 45 minutes from when the alarm was sounded. He had jumped from the fishing boat he was working on because he had been working without pay. He was brought aboard safely and both conscious and uninjured.
