IMSC security update: Destruction of explosive-laden boat off Yemen

In the April edition of ‘The SENTINEL Watch’, the International Maritime Security Construct provides the merchant shipping industry with an update on maritime security incidents within the Middle East Region. Of concern was the destruction of an explosive-laden boat by Arab coalition off Yemen.

Security Events

  • Arab coalition destroys explosive-laden boat
  • Southern Red Sea/BAM threat is LOW-MODERATE
  • Arabian Gulf/Gulf of Oman threat is LOW-MODERATE
  • Explosion in the Arabian Sea & GPS interference in the maritime domain

On March 16, 2021, Reuters reported the Arab coalition had destroyed an explosive-laden boat, possibly preventing an attack off the port of As-Salif, Yemen.

The threat within the Southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait (BAM) remains unchanged for IMSC flagged vessels at LOW-MODERATE.

Houthi misidentification and criminal conduct continue to present a threat for merchant shipping in the region, especially in vicinity of the Yemen coast or in Yemen ports. While there were no incidents in the Arabian Gulf or the Gulf of Oman last month, the threat remains LOW-MODERATE for IMSC flagged vessels based on recent malign activity in the region and continuing geo-political tension.

Meanwhile, a US MARAD alert of March 25, 2021, 2021-004A, reported a small explosion in the Arabian Sea, but the incident is highly unlikely as a maritime security (MARSEC) event, according to IMSC.

Additionally, reports of GPS interference persist and mariners are encouraged to report any such activity in real-time noting critical information, such as location, date, time, duration of outage, and photographs of equipment failure.

Warships and aircraft continue to provide overwatch to merchant vessels throughout the IMSC area of operation. Vessels transiting the area can expect to hear IMSC conducting Maritime Awareness Calls (MAC) on a regular basis. Masters are encouraged to report incidents to IMSC via UKMTO.

Furthermore, Ship Owners, Operators, and Masters are advised to follow guidance in accordance with BMP 5 and national authorities and review the guidance and responses contained within the IMSC Bridge Cards. BMP 5 Ship Protection Measures are highly encouraged:

  • Provide additional, fully briefed lookouts
  • Maintain an all-around lookout from an elevated position
  • Consider shorter rotation of the watch period to maximize alertness of the lookouts
  • Maintain sufficient binoculars for the enhanced bridge team, preferably anti-glare
  • Consider the use of thermal imagery optics and night vision aids as they provide a reliable all-weather, day and night surveillance capability.
