It has been reported that a tanker has been approached by one skiff whilst underway approximately 77nm south of Bonny, Nigeria. The pirates attempted to board the tanker up to four times without success. UPDATE: Further investigations have concluded that a Nigerian Navy vessel approached the tanker, not a skiff. The navy was unsuccessful in boarding the tanker due to the tanker increasing her speed. |
