A Greek bulker is believed to have sunk in the Red Sea nearly one week after being hit by a remote-controlled waterborne Houthi bomb.

Sources tell TradeWinds that Western navies patrolling the area cannot trace the 82,000-dwt Tutor (built 2022), which had been drifting in the Red Sea.

Debris seen floating in the area suggests that the vessel has gone down, TradeWinds is told.

It is not known if this happened due to the damage the ship incurred in the Houthi attack on 12 June or if it was hit again at some point after it was abandoned by its crew.

Salvage efforts are now being aborted.

The Tutor, which is owned by Greece’s Evalend Shipping, was last known to be still afloat even though parts of its stern were underwater and its engine room was fully submerged.
