At 1909 UTC on 17th November, a master reported being attacked by one skiff with 4 people on board.
They tried to board the vessel but failed due to razor wire placed by the merchant vessel along the gunnel.
After failed boarding they fired 2 RPG rounds at the vessel but missed. The skiff then withdrew. The vessel is safe.
Vessels are advised to keep well clear of this position and to exercise extreme caution if in vicinity (Source: MSCHOA)
