Suspicious approach – 560NM southeast of Socotra Island
A suspicious approach was launched from a possible mothership on 29 September at 0500Z noted to be near position 06:47N – 060:15E, approximately 560 NM southeast of Socotra Island. This area will remain high risk for the next 24-48 hours as weather conditions are conducive to small boat operations and at least one mothership likely remains in the area. Mariners are warned to avoid transiting these waters if possible. If it is necessary to transit these waters, mariners are encouraged to use all counter-piracy measures and employ all best management practices.
