Camera footage has shown pirates in the act of raiding an Italian offshore vessel for the second time in six months off Mexico.

Local media reported the 2,700-dwt platform supply vessel Remas (built 2011) had been boarded on the night of 12 April, 130 km off the port of Dos Bocas.

The gunmen fired at the bridge, injuring two crew members, before stealing welding equipment, helmets and diving tanks, according to the El Heraldo de Tabasco website.
