HMS Montrose near at hand according to this AP report... Frigate 'closely shadowed' UK-flagged BW Elm but did not provide 'a direct escort'. Deterrence has several shades but presence is always required. No comment provided by RN as 'could not be immediately reached' [?].

Are we going to see a rerun to WWII convey Ops in a pseudo kind of way? Group a few flagged ships together and 'escort' them through?

".....identified the vessel as BW Elm and reported that British warship HMS Montrose closely shadowed the vessel but did not provide a direct escort." Tacit escort?
