The Office of Naval Intelligence has just issued an advisory warning mariners of an attack on a merchant vessel. According to the statement, a merchant ship was fired upon by pirates from one skiff today, April 1, at 0230Z approximately 221 NM southwest of Salalah, Oman at 14:05N 051:43E. The mothership is said to be an off-white hulled fishing vessel. This area will remain high risk for at least 24-48 hours.
ONI advises mariners to avoid transiting near the area, if possible, or use all counter-piracy measures and employ all best management practices.
