Enrica Lexie (called Olympic Sky since 2013) is an Italian Aframax oil-tanker. In 2012, the ship was involved in the shooting of two Indian fisherman in the Laccadive Sea.
The Enrica Lexie was built in 2008. She was originally owned by Naples-based Dolphin Tankers whose parent company is Fratelli d'Amato. [1] [2]
On 15 February 2012, the Enrica Lexia was involved in the shooting of two fisherman in the Laccadive Sea off the Indian coast. [3] The tanker was taken to the port of Kochi on 17 February 2012 under escort by the Indian Coast Guard. [4] The ship was allowed to leave 80 days later, on 6 May 2012 after the owners posted a surety bond. [5]
In 2013, she was renamed as Olympic Sky and registered under a Greek flag; vessel management was transferred to Olympic Shipping & Management SA. [1] [6] AIS plots show the tanker operating in the Indian Ocean region. [7] [8]
In 2015, the tanker was registered again in the Marshall Islands. [9] [10]
