On January 20, 2020, at approximately 2:30 p.m., a significant maritime incident occurred off the coast of Ulsan, South Korea, involving the cargo vessel 'Valour' and a local fishing boat. The 'Valour,' which was navigating from Slavyanka towards Ulsan, collided with the fishing vessel that was crewed by six individuals. Despite sustaining severe damage from the collision, the fishing vessel successfully maintained its buoyancy and managed to reach Gampo port, located north of Ulsan, using its own power. In the aftermath of the incident, the 'Valour' secured its position at the outer anchorage of Ulsan, ensuring the safety of its crew and cargo.

On November 15, 2010, at 08:05 UTC, the tanker VALERIE demonstrated remarkable resilience when it successfully fended off a pirate assault while navigating in the Arabian Sea, specifically at coordinates 14° 3' 0" N, 49° 8' 0" E. The ship's vigilance paid off as it detected an approaching skiff moving swiftly at 22 knots, approximately 2 nautical miles away. As the skiff closed in to just 5 cables, the VALERIE's armed security team took decisive action by firing warning shots. In response, the pirates fired two shots at the vessel, but the VALERIE’s crew remained steadfast, returning gunfire. Facing this determined defense, the attackers ultimately retreated, leading to the successful defense of the tanker.
