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.
Beirut
The Lebanese army on Sep 3 found a further 4.35 tonnes of the explosive ammonium nitrate a month after 2,750 tonnes of the substance exploded in the harbour and destroyed large parts of the city. The explosive substance was found in a warehouse immediately outside one of the entrances to the port, and engineers from the army took care of it. Simultaneously with the new discovery, it emerged that the outgoing Prime Minister Hassan Diab told the head of the investigation of the catastrophic explosion that he knew of the existence of the large amount of ammonium nitrate at the port before the explosion. 25 suspects have been arrested so far, including the port's chief of staff Hassan Koraytem and customs chief Badri Daher. Among the others arrested were also three Syrian workers who carried out welding work at the warehouse, where the huge amount of ammonium nitrate was stored, on the day the explosion took place. Up to 200 were killed and about 6,500 injured in the blast, causing damage to a double-digit billion.
