Oil tanker Marlin Luanda caught fire in Red Sea after missile attack by Yemen's Houthi fighters
The 25 crew members of a Greek-owned and flagged oil tanker have been rescued by a European warship in the Red Sea after multiple attacks on Wednesday.
The Sounion, which is carrying 150,000 tonnes of crude oil, was first hit by gunfire from two small boats which approached it 77 nautical miles (143km) west of the Yemeni port of Hudaydah, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) office said.
Later, the ship was struck by three unidentified projectiles, which sparked a fire and left it without engine power, it added.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but US officials blamed Yemen-based Houthis. The group has launched multiple attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
On Thursday, EU's Red Sea naval mission said one of its ships had destroyed an unmanned surface vessel (USV) as it rescued all of those on board and transported them to Djibouti.
“The MV Sounion now represents a navigational and environmental hazard,” EUNAVFOR warned.
“It is essential that everyone in the area exercises caution and refrains from any actions that could lead to a deterioration of the current situation.”
The Sounion’s operator, Delta Tankers, said the fire onboard was extinguished before it was abandoned by the crew and that it was working on a plan to move the vessel to a safer destination for further checks and repairs.
The vessel was initially adrift after losing engine power but is now at anchor.
