Reviews & Ratings for the Sw-North-Wind-I

On August 21, 2024, the maritime scene turned tense for the 'SW North Wind' as it was navigating 57 nautical miles south of Aden. The vessel experienced a striking incident with five explosions occurring in close proximity. Fortunately, the ship emerged unscathed from these blasts, according to reports from maritime security experts Vanguard and the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). As the situation unfolded, three additional explosions were noted within the following hours, yet the vessel remained intact and successfully continued its journey. The 'SW North Wind' proceeded through the strategically significant Bab al-Mandeb Strait. While cruising west of Hodeidah, the ship encountered yet another security threat; this time, an unmanned bomb boat launched an attack that generated an explosion near the vessel. Thankfully, this incident also resulted in no significant damage, allowing the ship to maintain its northward trajectory towards the next port of call. The 'SW North Wind' commenced its journey from Singapore Anchorage on August 7, heading toward Suez, and reports indicate that no casualties were sustained during these alarming events.
