UKMTO Issues Update on Red Sea Incident

FREIGHT

Regarding current media reference to UKMTO reports of an incident in the Red Sea – this is likely an update providing further information on an attack earlier this morning, rather than a separate incident. Note, the location is the same on both updates.

  • The update confirms earlier reports that two missiles exploded in the water near vessels.
  • MNI reported earlier information from Trade Winds that the two tankers involved were the Achilles and the Marlin Luanda.
  • Product tanker Achilles affiliated with India Gaurik Ship Management transporting cargo from Russia’s Ust-Luga port was just 1 nautical mile away from the impact.
  • Oceonix Services Ltd-owned Marlin Luanda, operated by Trafigura and flagged with the Marshall Islands, was the other according to TradeWinds.
