Reviews & Ratings for the Cl-Lindy

On February 22, 2020, at 7:50 a.m., an alarming pirate assault was thwarted in the Gulf of Somalia, specifically in the maritime corridor between Yemen and Djibouti. A group of 11 pirate vessels, each manned by 4 to 5 individuals, initiated an attack on the dry bulk carrier 'CL Lindy.' Prompt action by the onboard security team, who fired warning shots, played a crucial role in repelling the aggressors. In a show of solidarity, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) quickly sent helicopters to the area, enhancing the security response. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries or fatalities as the small boats, which also attempted to close in on another freight vessel with its own security team, ultimately retreated after the warning shots were fired. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of maritime security in these volatile waters.
