UK Maritime Trade Operations: The vessel maneuvered and changed course, moving away from the boat.

June 21 (Reuters) - A tanker reported that a small boat carrying five armed men approached about 50 nautical miles southeast of the Yemeni city of Ash Shihr, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Sunday.

She added that the gunmen appeared to be trying to board the ship, which prompted the tanker to swerve and change course away from the boat.

The ship continued its journey to the next port amid reports that the ship and its crew were safe, while authorities investigated the incident.
