Attack on bulkcarrier foiled off Tawi Tawi

Nigerian Navy foiled two pirate attacks

The "Maersk Alabama" was once more under pirate attack on May 14, 2011. Warning Shots by armed guards on board also this time foiled the pirate attack. A skiff with no lights was picked up on radar just aft of the ship's starboard side and turned abruptly to starboard to follow its wake.
