The Anna-meta: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On June 15, 2024, the cargo ship 'Anna Meta' performed a heroic rescue in the Gulf of Aden, saving the crew of the vessel 'Verbena' (IMO: 9522075) that had come under attack. The incident unfolded on June 13, when the 'Verbena', sailing near the coast of Yemen, was struck by two missile attacks reportedly launched by Houthi militants. In the face of impending danger, the crew was forced to abandon their ship after their efforts to extinguish the ensuing fires proved futile. Tragically, one crew member sustained severe injuries during the ordeal. The swift action of the 'Anna Meta' not only highlighted the dangers faced at sea but also served as a testament to the solidarity and bravery of seafarers in times of crisis.
