The alert was raised on-board and the embarked security team prepared the bridge and displayed their weapons. Fire pump started, lockdown completed. The survey vessel turned to port and made an announcement on VHF Ch16. The skiff, was reported to have had up to eight persons on board, came to within 0.5nm before aborting its approach. This is the 5th approach within the lower Red Sea and Gulf of Aden within 2022 and 7th incident overall. The reported incident appears to have been absent of hostile intent or compromise of vessel or crew safety. Vessels transiting the region are advised to ensure that a posture of alertness is maintained despite the low threat from piracy related incidents. High levels of small boat activity have the potential to increase the false alarm rate. Such vessels are often poorly maintained and often unlit at night.   ###### Share article [![Share on Facebook](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/fb.png?width=24&name=fb.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/linkedin.png?width=24&name=linkedin.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/twitter.png?width=24&name=twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Approach%20-%20Bab%20al%20Mandab%20%E2%80%93%2013nm%20NE%20Khor%20Angar) [![Share on Pinterest](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/pinterest.png?width=24&name=pinterest.png)](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dpinterest&media=https%3A%2F%2Ff.hubspotusercontent40.net%2Fhubfs%2F4795492%2FDrayad_DMP21%2FImages%2Fpinterest.png) [![Share on Email](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/mail.png?width=24&name=mail.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fapproach-bab-al-mandab-13nm-ne-khor-angar%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) #### Related Posts ### [Boarding - 108nm NW Sao Tome Reporting indicates that the MT MARIA E has been boarded 108nm SW Sao Tome in the vicinity of the..](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/boarding-108nm-nw-sao-tome) ### [Suspicious Approach 174nm SW Abidjan Reporting indicates that the F/V LIBERTY GRACE (previously known as F/V SEA HONOR) reported a..](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/suspicious-approach-174nm-abidjan) ### [Kidnapping - 14nm NNW Pennington Terminal Reporting indicates that the St Kitts flagged general cargo vessel MILAN (IMO 8113619) has been..](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/boarding-14nm_nnw-pennington) ##### Twitter Feeds Twitter Feeds [Follow @GlobalDryad](https://twitter.com/GlobalDryad?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)   ##### Channel 16 Channel 16 ###### [Cross-Strait relations in the Lai era](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/cross-strait-relations-in-the-lai-era) On May 20, Lai Ching-te was inaugurated as Taiwan's new president, prompting significant military... ##### Know More Know More ##### Reach Us Reach Us Press/media contact [Email Us](mailto:press@dryadglobal.com) General Enquiries [Contact Us Here](https://share.hsforms.com/1nNmumgLKRy6b7zdktrR3FQ2us84) [![DG Logo Horizontal NEW White](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Branding/DG%20Logo%20Horizontal%20NEW%20White.png?width=280&height=100&name=DG%20Logo%20Horizontal%20NEW%20White.png "DG Logo Horizontal NEW White")](https://dryadglobal.com) © 2024 Dryad Global.
