Members will be aware that since the end of March there has been a reescalation in the number of suspicious approaches around the Southern Red Sea, Bab-el-Mandeb & Gulf of Aden. This rise in activity has cumulated with the confirmed taking of one Indian Fishing Dhow CASAYR II – No.30 and the MT ARIS 13, which was subsequently released. Another Dhow on route from Dubai to Bossaso has been hijacked in the vicinity of Socotra, her name is yet to be verified but believed to be Al Kaushar on 01 APR 17. There are further unconfirmed reports in the media of the taking of a Pakistani cargo vessel MV Salama 1.

海盗再起：亚丁湾
自3月底开始，红海南部、曼德海峡和亚丁湾周围的可疑海盗事件数量再度升级。此次海盗活动波澜再起，已有2起确凿的海盗事件，涉案船舶分别为印度单桅小渔船CASAYR II-No.30和已获救的ARIS 13。2017年4月1日，另一艘从迪拜驶往博萨索途中的单桅小船，在索科特拉岛附近被劫持，船名尚在证实中，可能是“Al Kaushar”。另有未经证实的媒体消息称，巴基斯坦货轮“Salama 1”遭劫持。
