| It has been reported by the Master of a Greek-flagged tanker that an Unmanned Surface Vessel with a blue and white hull, was spotted manoeuvring suspiciously on the vessel's port side and came to within 0.3nm. The tanker was underway approximately 13nm South of Al Suqayyah, Yemen. The Master engaged in an evasive manoeuvre by altering course to port and reported that the Unmanned Surface vessel moved away from the tanker in a Southeasterly direction. The Master also reported a small craft with two persons onboard in proximity of the Unmanned Surface Vessel. The vessel and crew are reported safe, and the vessel is continuing to its next port of call. | |||||
