Posted to Maritime Reporter on May 24, 2024

A merchant ship off the coast of Yemen reported a rocket striking the water nearby, Britain's. sea trade monitoring firm reported on Thursday, including that. all team and the vessel were safe and continuing to the next. port of call.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency. stated it had actually gotten a report of the incident 98 nautical miles. ( NM) south of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah. The master of the. merchant vessel had reported the rocket affecting the water. near the ship's port side.

British security company Ambrey said it got a report that. a merchant vessel was approached 68 nautical miles southwest of. Hodeidah and had actually experienced what it described as a missile. attack.

No damages or injuries were reported, Ambrey said.

Ambrey independently sent another advisory note after stating a. merchant vessel reported a projectile influence on the water. approximately 33 nautical miles south of Yemen's Mocha.

The projectile apparently impacted the water 0.2 NM aft of. the vessel. 2.5 hours prior another merchant vessel had reported. a 'rocket attack' west of Mocha, Ambrey added.

The 2 vessels were transiting at a range of 2-5 NM from. each other during the events, it stated.
