British agency warns of possible pirate activity in Gulf of Aden

Gulf of Aden, Yemen ·

The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency received reports from several sources of small boats moving close to commercial vessels in the Gulf of Aden. It said the suspicious activity could indicate a group of pirates on the move.

The Gulf of Aden is a major shipping route linking the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and piracy there drew international naval patrols in the late 2000s. UKMTO is the UK-based agency that receives and relays reports of maritime security threats to merchant ships.
