Ambrey Global Maritime Risk management reports that another Israeli ship was attacked off the coast of Aden in Yemen. The tanker called Central Park flies the Liberian flag and is owned by the Ofer family of Zodiac Maritime, an Israeli company listed in London. According to Iranian media, the attack was carried out by Yemeni Houthi rebels.
The Central Park, which left the Moroccan port of Safi, was boarded and attacked in the Indian Ocean, near Aden. According to witnesses cited by the Israeli press, individuals in military uniforms approached the tanker.
 
Although the Houthis threatened to attack the tanker, a US coalition warship, having intercepted the message, advised Central Park to ignore the threat.
Zodiac Maritime said: “Our priority is the safety of our 22 crew members on board. The ship, commanded by a Turkish captain, has a multinational crew made up of Russians, Vietnamese, Bulgarians, Indians, Georgians and Filipinos. The ship is carrying a full cargo of phosphoric acid. »
This act of piracy is part of a series of incidents affecting ships linked to Israel, including an alleged attack by Iran and the capture of a cargo ship by the Houthis.
