HELLESPONT PROTECTOR 9351452
The "Hellespont Protector" on Oct 28, 2010, was attacked by pirates was transiting the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor. They fired at the vessel with AK47 assault rifles. The HTMS "Similan" of the Royal Thai Navy was nearby to assist. The Fusu-class replenishment ship, currently supporting Combined Task Force 151, immediately launched its helicopter to investigate the pirate skiff. With the "Hellespont Protector" increasing its speed, the suspected pirates were unable to catch the merchant vessel and aborted their attack, dropping their weapons into the water in an attempt to escape. Within minutes, HTMS "Similan"’s boarding team apprehended the skiff and, after taking records, the skiff was forced back to the Somali coast. A warning of suspected pirate activity was issued to fishing boats and commercial ships in the region.
