Seizure of the GALAXY LEADER PCTC chartered by NYK
Ro-roOn the evening of November 19 in Tokyo (early afternoon local time), NYK was informed by Galaxy Maritime Ltd., which is based in the U.K., that an NYK-chartered PCTC named GALAXY LEADER had been seized by Houthi rebels near Hodeida, Yemen, while sailing for India. No cargo was on the vessel.
At 8:30 a.m. today (21 November), NYK organized a crisis management center at its head office to gather information and manage this incident. As the vessel’s charterer, we are prioritizing the safety of the 25 crew members.
