Summary

Piracy’s making a comeback in the Gulf of Aden as the MT Astana was hijacked by seven gunmen off Yemen — a stark reminder that after years of quiet, the waters are once again a hotspot. With Somali pirates reportedly boarding the vessel en route to Bosaso, maritime authorities are sounding the alarm and urging caution. This follows a string of recent hijackings, including the MT Eureka, and comes as the Gulf of Aden’s lighter patrols compared to the Indian Ocean may be giving pirates an opening.
