Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Msc-Darwin-Vi

In a significant escalation in maritime tensions, the Houthi movement of Yemen took responsibility for an attack on the container ship 'MSC Darwin VI' on April 26, 2024. The vessel, which was navigating through the Gulf of Aden after departing from Aden, came under fire as the Houthis launched missiles targeted towards the Israeli city of Eilat, accompanied by naval missiles and drones. Notably, the group has previously labeled MSC-operated vessels as 'Israeli', although the rationale behind this designation remains unclear. The captain of the MSC Darwin VI reported hearing a loud explosion, followed by the sighting of a splash and smoke emerging from the sea. Fortunately, all crew members onboard reported being safe, and military authorities promptly dispatched support to the area. Following the incident, ‘MSC Darwin VI’ successfully docked at the Dorealeh Container Terminal in Djibouti at 4:20 a.m., ensuring the well-being of its crew and cargo.
