On September 11, 2011, a dramatic maritime incident unfolded in the Strait of Bab Al-Mandeb as the tanker 'Bunga Mas 5' successfully thwarted a pirate attack targeting the bulk carrier 'Eagle Stealth'. The attack occurred approximately 30 miles off the coast of Mukha, where five skiffs, carrying around 15 armed pirates, approached the vessel's starboard side. Thanks to the swift action of the six armed guards onboard the 'Bunga Mas 5', who fired a warning shot, the pirates quickly abandoned their mission. At the time of the incident, the 'Eagle Stealth' was transporting 56,000 tons of low sulphur fuel oil, with a crew of 26 onboard, ensuring the safe passage of vital resources in a high-risk maritime corridor.
