Greek ship escapes pirate attack off coast of Oman

A Greek ship narrowly escaped being hijacked by Somali pirates in two attempted takeovers just off the coast of Oman, Arabian Business had learned.
Four armed pirates attacked the ship approximately 500 nautical miles of the North East of Salalah on Friday, Marine Management Services, owner of the boat, said in a statement.
“[The] officer on watch identified and targeted a suspicious vessel,” the company said. “While assessing the situation he noticed the skiff [a small boat] approaching the vessel’s port quarter under fire.”
Four armed pirates carrying firearms then attempted to board the ship using a portable ladder but the attack was unsuccessful.
