Crew onboard a drifting tanker noticed a mother vessel launching a skiff with four persons, which approached at high speed. Master raised the alarm, increased speed, took evasive manoeuvres and non-essential crew mustered in the citadel. The skiff managed to come alongside the vessel but due to the hardening measures taken by the Master, the boarding was avoided. Crew and tanker reported safe.
