The cargo ship LNG Aries was attacked by pirates off Masirah Island, Arabian sea. The cargo ship was carrying natural gas, when one skiff with 5-6 persons aboard attacked the ship and fired several shots to the LNG Carrier. The pirates were not able to board the cargo vessel, due to good maneuvers of the duty navigation officer and the army forces interaction of the closest military ship. On board of the cargo ship LNG Aries there were no armed guard in spite of the area of operation. The pirates attacks became more frequent again, as they attacked around the shores of Somalia a few cargo vessels. The LNG Carriers are quite defenceless, as the cargo on board is highly explodable.
