Seiner repelled pirate attack
Somali pirates attempted to attack the ‘Intertuna Tres’ on Nov 2, 2025, at 5.45 p.m. LT. The crew of the tuna vessel spotted a speedboat approaching them from a mothership, believed to be the Iranian-flagged dhow ‘Issa Mohamadi’, which was hijacked by the pirates last month. The four attackers identified themselves as pirates, and a dhow was detected nearby, which could have been acting as a mother ship. Faced with the threat, the ship's crew immediately activated established security protocols and executed evasive and protective maneuvers. Security forces onboard the ‘Intertuna Tres’ fired shots at the pirates’ speedboat, after which they returned to the mothership, aborting the attempted boarding without any personal or material damage. The 'Intertuna Tres' continued its operations as normal, and all crew members were in perfect health. The Albacora group immediately reported the incident to the relevant authorities, with whom they maintained close collaboration.
