Armed pirates in two skiffs chased, fired upon and attempted to board a bulk carrier underway. The vessel raised the alarm and the non essential crew mustered in the citadel. Master increased speed, took evasive manoeuvres and sent SSAS alert. Due to the hardening measures taken by the Master the pirates aborted the attempted attack and moved away. The vessel sustained bullet marks at the accommodation due to the firing.
