The Turkish navy has come to the aid of an injured Greek seafarer aboard a John Angelicoussis tanker in the Gulf of Aden.

Vazoios Marcos, working aboard the 159,000-dwt tanker Aegean Angel (built 2004), suffered a loss to one of his fingers and was in a critical condition.

The Turkish warship TCG Giresun, under the command of Combined Task Force (CTF) 151, was first to respond to the incident.
