MV Guanabara is an oil tanker which was attacked by four pirates on 5 March 2011.

The tanker was attacked by four armed Somali pirates at 3pm on 5 March 2011. The crew of 24 hid in a safe room, and summoned help from USS Bulkeley (DDG-84) and the Turkish TCG Giresun. The pirates were captured without a fight. Three of the pirates were indicted in Japan. The fourth was turned over to juvenile authorities, as it was determined that he was a minor.
