Daisy Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On August 5, 2026, at approximately 2:30 p.m., the Yemeni Armed Forces under Houthi control announced that they successfully targeted the tanker 'Daisy' with a ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden, located 95 nautical miles southeast of Aden. This missile strike was part of the group's ongoing efforts to enforce a maritime blockade. According to their claims, the attack caused damage to the vessel, prompting it to change course. However, the ship's captain reported multiple loud explosions occurring just 40 meters from the port side, which created a significant shockwave impacting the vessel. Fortunately, the crew aboard the 'Daisy' remained safe, and initial reports indicate that the tanker itself sustained no damage. Registered under the management of Red Sea Marine Services in Jeddah and owned by Bakri Navigation, based in Saudi Arabia, the 'Daisy' had departed from Fujairah on July 26, with Djibouti marked as its destination, expecting to arrive on August 6.
