THOR MERCURY 9300221
In the early hours of Nov 26, 2010, the "Medi Chennai" was attacked approximately 880 nautical miles east of Port Victoria, Seychelles. This is the further east attack ever registered by EU NAVFOR since the beginning of its Operation in December 2008. The vessel reported it was under attack and being fired upon with small arms and rocket propelled grenades. The captain of the bulk carrier mustered all non essential personnel in a safe room and immediately started evasive manoeuvres by zigzagging five degrees at a time. The addition of evasive manoeuvres and self protection measures incl. barbed wires around the upper deck, made it impossible for the pirates to board the vessel and the "Medi Chennai" confirmed it was safe. This is the tenth vessel that has escaped being pirated thanks to Best Management Practices in the last 8 days.
