Last week saw another 11 reported attacks. This brings the total since the beginning of the year to 140 reported attacks. Unfortunately last week reflected escalation in the reported pirate attacks with one vessel being hijacked and another attacked withmultiple RPG rounds. In both incidents reports suggest that the vessels didn’t use the services of a Private Maritime Security Company. Some of the latest attacks as follows: 10.05.2012: 0923 UTC: Posn: 15:58N – 061:02E, (Around 250nm SE of Ras Al Madrakah, Oman) Ten Pirates in two skiffs armed with automatic weapons chased a crude oil tanker underway. The tanker enforced anti-piracy measures, increased speed, made evasive manoeuvres and managed to evade the boarding attempt resulting in the skiffs regrouping with the mother ship in the vicinity. Later, the skiffs launched a second attack on the tanker, approached at a speed of 24knots and managed to successfully board and hijack the vessel and take hostage the 26 crew members. The hijacked vessel has been identified as being the Greek owned and managed Liberian flagged MT Smyrni.
