US Actions
The US Navy is believed to have killed four alleged pirates who were attempting to hijack a Dr Peters-owned VLCC.
The 306,500-dwt “Artemis Glory” (built 2006) came under attacked at about 06:35 GMT on Monday whilst sailing south east through the Gulf of Oman.
A UK RFA ship is said to have received a mayday call from the VLCC, which was relayed to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) in Dubai.
