In a decisive operation, the Indian Navy has successfully prevented a piracy attack on the Liberian-flagged MV Lord Mountbatten in the Gulf of Aden. The incident unfolded on May 16, 2017, at approximately 4:45 PM, when the vessel issued a distress call reporting an attempted piracy by two suspicious mother vessels accompanied by 7-8 skiffs. The INS Sharda, situated 30 miles east of the reported position, quickly sprang into action upon receiving the emergency alert. The naval ship accelerated towards the location with urgency. Upon arrival, the elite 'Marcos' commandos, supported by an onboard helicopter, conducted a thorough 'board and search' operation on two identified dhows and five skiffs displaying hostile intent. During the operation, Navy personnel recovered an automatic Kalashnikov rifle along with 28 rounds of ammunition from one of the dhows. In response to the naval presence, three of the attacking skiffs made a hasty retreat, fleeing the scene at high speeds. This successful intervention underscores the Indian Navy's commitment to ensuring maritime security and combating piracy in the region.

In a significant maritime transaction, a vessel has been sold for around $7.6 million to a Greek buyer, specifically within the sphere of British bulk carriers. This sale underscores the ongoing demand for commercial shipping assets in the evolving global marketplace.
