Houthis claim to have hit a large container ship owned by CMA, involving several co-located shipping companies
According to the latest reports from Reuters and CCTV, on January 31, local time, Yemeni Houthi military spokesman Yahya al-Sari'a issued a statement saying that the Houthis had carried out an attack on an American merchant ship bound for an Israeli port, the large container ship KOI ("Cole", IMO9461489), and that the Houthis claimed to have fired missiles that had made a direct hit on the container ship (direct hit).
According to the statement, the large container ship, the KOI (USS Cole, IMO 9461489), was heading towards one of the Palestinian ports currently occupied by Israel when it was hit. And the operation came just hours after the Houthis targeted the USS Gravely, a US destroyer, with multiple missiles in the Red Sea.
In their statement, the Houthis emphasized that they will continue to target ships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea that are heading to Israeli ports or are linked to Israel until Israel ceases its operations against the Gaza Strip and the population of Gaza is provided with sufficient food and medicine.
In addition, according to the Reference News, the private intelligence company, the British company Embry, said on January 31 that a merchant ship was attacked by a missile while sailing 69 nautical miles southwest of Aden, Yemen, and that the starboard side of the merchant ship exploded.
According to Embry said that the missile was fired from Yemen's Ta'izz province, but it did not say whether the attacked merchant vessel was the KOI.
According to the information, the container ship "KOI" (KOI), built in 2011, flying the Liberian flag, with a capacity of 8,586 TEU, is currently operated by the shipping company Duffy Line.
According to CMA's website, the Cole is currently deployed on the Med Express (MEDEX) service, which calls at the ports of JEBEL ALI, NHAVA SHEVA and MUNDRA and travels to Mediterranean ports via the Suez Canal.
The Cole left Mundra for Piraeus on January 21 and is due to arrive in Piraeus on February 6, according to Big Ship Term, with possible co-locations on board by Duffy, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO Shipping, OOCL and ANL.
The USS Cole, which was claimed to have been hit by the Houthis, is currently anchored in the waters off the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, according to data provided by ShipNews.com!
In addition, it is worth noting that the KOI ("Cole", IMO9461489), which was attacked this time, and the MARLIN LUANDA tanker, which was hit by a missile and caught fire a few days ago, share the same ship management company, Oceonix Services Ltd. of the United Kingdom.
