Msc-Veracruz Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On April 24, 2024, an explosion was reported in the waters approximately 72 nautical miles southeast of Djibouti. A spokesperson for the Houthi movement claimed the attack via an official channel, targeting both the 'Maersk Yorktown' and the 'MSC Veracruz', which they referred to as an ‘Israeli ship’. Additionally, they alleged the involvement of a U.S. warship in the attack on the 'Maersk Yorktown', a vessel under contract with the U.S. military. Confirming the situation, the U.S. Central Command reported that they had successfully intercepted an anti-ship ballistic missile fired from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, aimed likely at the 'Maersk Yorktown', which was carrying 18 U.S. and four Greek crew members. Furthermore, the U.S. Central Command announced the destruction of four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over areas controlled by Houthi forces in Yemen. This incident follows a previous event on April 13, when the Houthis launched an anti-ship ballistic missile during similar tensions in the Gulf of Aden.
