   The threat to maritime vessels is likely to increase as various extremist groups anticipate U.S

   1. THE THREAT TO MARITIME VESSELS IS LIKELY TO INCREASE AS VARIOUS
      EXTREMIST GROUPS ANTICIPATE U.S. RETALIATION FOR THE 11 SEPTEMBER
      ATTACKS. THIS INCLUDES THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THREATS FROM CIVIL
      UNREST/DEMONSTRATIONS THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE CONTAINED BY PORT
      SECURITY, ESPECIALLY IN PORTS OF COUNTRIES WITH SIZEABLE RADICAL
      ISLAMIC COMMUNITIES, TO ATTACKS SIMILAR TO WHAT THE MARITIME
      COMMUNITY SAW WITH THE USS COLE LAST YEAR. WHILE WE HAVE NO
      SPECIFIC THREAT INFORMATION AGAINST U.S. COMMERCIAL SHIPPING,
      SHIPS ARE URGED TO REVIEW THEIR SECURITY PROCEDURES AND DISCUSS
      WITH LOCAL PORT AUTHORITIES WHAT SECURITY MEASURES ARE IN PLACE TO
      PROTECT SHIPS AT ANCHOR OR PIERSIDE FROM SURFACE THREATS, THREATS
      FROM LAND OR UNDERWATER THREATS.
   2. CRUISE SHIPS AND U.S. MERCHANT VESSELS SHOULD BE ON A HEIGHTENED
      STATE OF ALERT, AND SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE NATIONAL IMAGERY
      AND MAPPING AGENCY'S (NIMA) BROADCAST WARNINGS.
   3. COMMENCING IMMEDIATELY ALL U.S. FLAG SHIPS REQUIRED BY REGULATION
      TO FILE AMVER POSITION REPORTS AND OPERATING IN THE NORTH ARABIAN
      SEA, GULF OF OMAN, PERSIAN GULF, GULF OF ADEN, RED SEA AND THE
      SUEZ CANAL SHALL FILE AMVER REPORTS EVERY 24 HOURS VICE EVERY 48
      HOURS.
   4. THIS INCREASE IN POSITION REPORTING IS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE DUE
      TO THE CURRENT SITUATION. THE CHANGE IS DIRECTED BY THE MARITIME
      ADMINISTRATOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH 46 CFR PART 307.11. THIS IS NOT
      TO BE CONSTRUED AS A WAR ZONE DECLARATION.
   5. ALL U.S. FLAG OPERATORS WITH SHIPS IN THE AFFECTED AREAS ARE
      REQUESTED TO FORWARD THIS ADVISORY TO THEIR SHIPS BY THE MOST
      EXPEDIENT MEANS. THIS ADVISORY WILL SUBSEQUENTLY BE PUBLISHED IN
      THE "WEEKLY NOTICE TO MARINERS" AND MARAD WORLDWIDE WEB SITE.
   6. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ADVISORY CONTACT THE
      MARITIME ADMINISTRATION, OFFICE OF SHIP OPERATIONS, CODE MAR-613,
      ROOM 2123, 400 7TH STREET SW, WASHINGTON, DC 20590,

   This marad advisory provides guidance for vessels transiting the bab-al-mandab strait, red sea and the gulf…
   Red Sea · Bab-al-mandab Strait

   RED SEA.
   BAB-AL-MANDAB STRAIT.
   1. THIS MARAD ADVISORY PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR VESSELS
      TRANSITING THE BAB-AL-MANDAB STRAIT, RED SEA AND
      THE GULF OF ADEN ALONG THE COAST OF YEMEN.
   2. INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT AL-QAEDA REMAINS INTERESTED
      IN MARITIME ATTACKS IN THE BAB-AL-MANDAB STRAIT,
      RED SEA AND THE GULF OF ADEN ALONG THE COAST OF YEMEN.
      ALTHOUGH IT IS UNCLEAR HOW THEY WOULD PROCEED, IT MAY
      BE SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THE ATTACK AGAINST THE USS COLE
      IN OCTOBER 2000 OR THE M/V LIMBERG IN OCTOBER 2002,
      WHERE A SMALL TO MID-SIZE BOAT LADEN WITH EXPLOSIVES
      WAS DETONATED IN THE VICINITY OF THE TARGETED SHIPS.
      HOWEVER, IT CANNOT BE RULED OUT THAT THE EXTREMISTS
      MAY BE CAPABLE OF OTHER MORE SOPHISTICATED METHODS OF
      TARGETING, SUCH AS THE USE OF MISSILE OR PROJECTILES TO
      TARGET SHIPS SUCH AS THE MORTARS USED TO TARGET A NAVY
      SHIP IN JORDAN IN 2005. ALTHOUGH THE TIME AND LOCATION
      OF SUCH AN ATTACK IS UNKNOWN, IT IS LIKELY THAT SHIPS IN
      THE BAB-AL-MANDAB STRAIT, RED SEA AND THE GULF OF ADEN
      ALONG THE COAST OF YEMEN ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF
      BECOMING TARGETS OF SUCH AN ATTACK.
   3. ALL VESSELS TRANSITING THE WATERS IN THE VICINITY OF
      YEMEN ARE URGED TO OPERATE AT A HEIGHTENED STATE OF
      READINESS AND SHOULD MAINTAIN STRICT 24 HOUR VISUAL
      AND RADAR WATCHES AND REGULARLY REPORT THEIR
      POSITION / COURSE / SPEED TO THE UKMTO. VESSELS ARE AT
      GREATEST RISK IN AREAS OF RESTRICTED MANEUVERABILITY
      AND WHILE IN PORT OR AT ANCHOR.
   4. MERCHANT VESSELS ARE REQUESTED TO REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS
      ACTIVITY TO THE UKMTO DUBAI, PHONE: 97 150 552 3215,
      E-MAIL: [email protected] OR IMB PRC AT PHONE: 6 032 031 0014,
