Suspicious Vessel
The grounding of the tanker “Pavit” off the coast of Mumbai is causing some concern amongst local security experts.
With a spate of derelict ships with suspicious antecedents drifting to Mumbai’s shores, it seems that something odd is afoot.
There are rumours that the “Pavit” was acting as a supplier of marine fuel to Somalia to facilitate piracy activity, and that this was one of the reasons why the crew chose to abandon the ship.
