Malaysian navy personnel managed to thwart a hijacking attempt of a Malaysian oil tanker off Yemen.
The MT Eagle Stealth, owned by MISC Bhd, was sailing along the straits of Bab el-Mandeb, about 30 nautical miles from Al-Mukha, Yemen.
A Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) spokesman said six navy commandos, who were on board the tanker, spotted five skiffs with 10 to 15 men onboard tailing the ship at about 6pm (local time) on Sunday.
The skiffs followed the tanker for about 15 minutes before they tried to approach the ship.
“The commandos, led by Lt Aswad Zakareya, fired a warning shot and the skiffs then turned away,” he said, adding that the area was notorious for piracy and ship-hijacking cases.
The MT Eagle Stealth was carrying some 56,000 metric tonnes of low sulphur fuel worth about RM200mil and 26 seamen, including two Malaysians, at the time of the incident.
