Piracy Report
Please be advised: A bulk carrier merchant vessel reported being fired upon by one skiff at 0538Z on 10 MAY 10 in position 00:10N - 000:65E, approximately 600NM northeast of the Seychelles. The skiff conducted two unsuccessful attacks, and continues to attack the vessel. This area will remain high risk for the next 24-48 hours as weather conditions continue to be conducive to small boat operations. Mariners are warned to avoid transiting these waters if possible. If necessary to transit these waters, mariners are encouraged to use all counter-piracy measures and employ all best management practices.
