Pirate Assault on 'Isuzuguwa' Highlights Maritime Security Concerns
On April 25, 2010, at approximately 6:40 a.m., the very large crude carrier (VLCC) 'Isuzuguwa,' with IMO number 9262156, encountered a dire situation off the coast of 18.05N 064.59E. The vessel fell victim to a brazen attack by pirates, who approached in two motherships, deploying one or two skiffs armed with automatic rifles (AK) and rocket-propelled grenades (RPG). Despite immediate distress calls to the Indian Coast Guard, the 'Isuzuguwa' received no response.
