Reviews & Ratings for the Yong-Xing-Zhou

On May 20, 2013, the 'Yong Xing Zhou', while navigating through the Gulf of Aden, fell victim to an audacious assault from a group of twelve pirates, as reported by security experts at AKE Maritime. This incident is part of a worrying trend, with eight additional suspicious vessel sightings documented in the vicinity, particularly near the western entrance of the Gulf of Aden. Despite the onset of the monsoon season and challenging weather conditions, certain pirate factions appear undeterred. During the encounter, two skiffs approached the tanker within a mere 500 meters. However, the vigilant ship's security team responded with warning shots, prompting the pirates to retreat and abandon their malicious intentions.
