Israel-Linked Chemical Tanker Detained in Gulf of Aden
Sunday November 26, 2023
A chemical tanker has been detained in the Gulf of Aden, in the latest of an apparent series of incidents targeting Israeli-linked shipping following the conflict in Gaza.
The Liberian-flagged 20,000 DWT chemicals tanker Central Park was seized in international waters about 54 nautical miles off Somalia on Sunday, news agency Reuters reported, citing comments from a US defence official and the vessel's owner, Zodiac Maritime.
The vessel has 22 seafarers on board and a cargo of phosphoric acid.
Zodiac is owned by Israel's Ofer family.
The incident follows the seizure of the car carrier Galaxy Leader on November 20 and a drone attack on the container ship CMA CGM Symi on Saturday.
