The tanker Marlin Luanda was on fire but no deaths or injuries were reported after the vessel was struck by a Houthi anti-ship missile in the Gulf of Aden on Friday, commodities trader Trafigura and the U.S. military reported.
“Firefighting equipment on board is being deployed to suppress and control the fire caused in one cargo tank on the starboard side,” Trafigura said in a statement, adding it was in contact with the petroleum products tanker.
