Greek Bulk Carrier Eternity C Attacked off Yemen: 22 Crew Onboard, 21 Filipinos; 2 Wounded, 2 Missing π’π
July 08,2025 - A Greek-managed, Liberia-flagged bulk carrier Eternity C, carrying 22 crew membersβ21 of whom are Filipinoβwas attacked Monday off the coast of Yemen, resulting in two crew members seriously wounded and two others missing, according to maritime authorities and the ship manager, Cosmoship Management.
The attack occurred roughly 50 nautical miles southwest of the port of Hodeidah and involved sea drones and four fast-moving skiffs. Armed individuals aboard the boats launched at least four rocket-propelled grenades, striking the vesselβs bridge and damaging its communications system. The ship is now reported to be adrift, according to the European Union's Operation Aspides, which is tasked with safeguarding commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
Cosmoship confirmed that three armed guards were onboard during the incident. Despite their presence, the attackers inflicted significant damage. The nationalities of the missing crew have not yet been confirmed.
This incident followed hours after Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for a separate assault on the Greek-owned Magic Seas, which they alleged had sunk. That claim remains unverified, although all 19 Filipino crew members and an armed guard reportedly arrived safely in Djibouti.
Filipino seafarers transiting the Red Sea are strongly advised to exercise heightened caution, follow the directives of their shipmasters and security officers, and remain alert.
