Intertuna-Tres Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On November 2, 2025, at approximately 5:45 PM local time, the tuna fishing vessel 'Intertuna Tres' successfully thwarted a pirate attack off the coast of Somalia. The crew of the ship noticed an aggressive approach by a speedboat originating from a hijacked Iranian-flagged dhow, identified as the 'Issa Mohamadi,' which had been under pirate control for the previous month. The four assailants boldly declared their intentions, indicating they were indeed pirates, while their mothership lurked ominously nearby. In a quick and decisive response, the crew on board the 'Intertuna Tres' activated their security protocols. They employed evasive maneuvers and fortified their defensive position. The onboard security forces promptly returned fire at the approaching speedboat, prompting the would-be attackers to retreat back to their mothership. Remarkably, the incident concluded without any injuries or damage to the vessel. Following the confrontation, the 'Intertuna Tres' resumed its fishing activities, ensuring the safety and well-being of all crew members. The Albacora group acted swiftly to report the incident to relevant authorities, ensuring a transparent and cooperative follow-up on the alarming situation.

On November 21, 2010, the crew of the 'Intertuna III' demonstrated remarkable resilience when private security onboard successfully repelled a pirate attack while navigating the Indian Ocean. The incident unfolded in the early hours, approximately 400 miles from Mahé, the largest island in the Seychelles. For a tense 45 minutes, pirate skiffs relentlessly pursued the Albacora-owned vessel, resulting in an exchange of gunfire. Fortunately, all crew members aboard the ship emerged unscathed. This assault marked the seventh attack on a Basque tuna vessel within just a fortnight. Notably, on November 13, another ship from the Albacora fleet, the 'Albacán', narrowly escaped a similar hijacking attempt by pirates.
