Comment: On Oct 23 Nigeria says it is effectively policing against piracy and armed robbers and that armed guards will not be permitted on board vessels operating in its waters or in the ports.The rule applies to anyone carrying a firearm. Nigeria has warned that any vessel found with armed guards on board would be detained. MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "mandrillapp.com" claiming to be https://africaports.co.za/#twoThat’s what industry media and other do-gooders should fight – coastal States which prohibit armed guards, especially States like Nigeria, by requesting international Convention on armed guards and the right of merchant marine to defend itself. | | | | |

-10-Янв-2018 Танкер "Barrett" захвачен на рейде Котону | | | | Свиток: развернуть Tanker BARRETT released, crew and ship safe Jan. 18, 2018 at 04:56 by Mikhail Voytenko in Maritime Security 177 Union Maritime made a statement with regards with MT BARRET hijack in Gulf of Guinea: Union Maritime can confirm that the MT BARRETT has been released after a Gulf of Guinea piracy incident lasting six days. All crew are safe. We are extremely grateful to the many parties that assisted in achieving the successful resolution of this incident. We are focused now on supporting the crew and their families. The crew are safely back in Lagos, Nigeria and were met by senior representatives from Union Maritime and the technical managers. The MT BARRETT was at anchor off Benin, West Africa when communications were lost on the morning of Wednesday 10th January. Union Maritime’s emergency response plan was immediately activated and regional maritime authorities and other vessels in the area were alerted. The exact nature of the incident only became clear late on 12th January when those holding the vessel made contact with the company. A resolution process began, which ultimately led to the release of the vessel and all crew on board on 16th January. We sincerely appreciate the support and efforts of all involved, including the authorities in Benin, Togo, Nigeria and India. Union Maritime regularly operates from ports in this region. The safety and security of all our crews is our highest priority. We operate to a rigorous safety and security protocol, with crews repeatedly drilled in all emergency procedures. https://www.unionmaritime.com/mt-barret ... crew-safe/Hijack news: UK’s tanker disappeared in Gulf of Guinea, probably hijacked January 13, 2018 Product tanker BARRETT reported missing since Jan 9 or 10 off Cotonou, Benin, Gulf of Guinea. Information from different sources is contradicting – some say tanker was at Cotonou Anchorage when connection was lost, some say she was under way. Latest known AIS position at 0214 UTC Jan 9 was in 06 14N 002 30E, according to other sources latest known position 05 07N 002 21E is dated 0903 UTC Jan 10. Seems like tanker was hijacked with the purpose of cargo theft (tanker reportedly is partially laden), probably some crew out of 22 on board were, or are to be, kidnapped. | | | | |
-01-Фев-2018 - Компания Anglo-Eastern потеряла связь с танкером "Marine Express", когда он стоял на рейде Котону. | | | | Свиток: развернуть Product tanker MARINE EXPRESS , which was missing since Feb 1, presumably hijack by pirates, was released on Feb 6, confirmed it was hijack. According to operator Anglo-Eastern Shipping Company, HK, all 22 crew are safe, cargo of 13,500 tons of gasoline intact. No other details provided, not clear why and on what conditions pirates released tanker. Most probably, ransom was paid to pirates for vessel’s release, but it is known also, that India officially asked Nigeria and Benin assistance in tanker’s search. There’s a probability therefore, that tanker was spotted and approached by coastal navies, and pirates fled, fearing the consequences. But again, Nigeria and Benin didn’t make any official statement, which they’d surely make be the release credited to their efforts. Everything is shroud in mystery and secrets, so characteristic of GoG piracy. Let’s wait and see – if such short-termed (in comparison with Somalia hijacks) hijacks will become habitual, that will mean that pirates, somehow, found ways to “convince” owners to pay ransom, in a matter of days. And those will be really bad news for GoG shipping. Voytenko Mikhail February 6, 2018 | | | | |
-09-Фев-2018 - Пираты напали на рыболовное судно, захватили в заложники трёх рыбаков возле побережья Камеруна. | | | | Свиток: развернуть Armed robbers boarded a fishing vessel, kidnapped three crew members and escaped in West African waters, on Friday 9th of February, according to IMB Piracy Reporting Centre. The men, armed with AK47 assault rifles, boarded the vessel while underway around 10 nautical miles South West of Idenao, Cameroon. The Cameroonian Authorities were notified and are currently investigating the incident. This is the latest of numerous piracy attacks in the Gulf of Guinea in the last months, with Nigeria taking the lead in crew abductions in 2017. In the past year, 10 incidents of kidnapping were reported involving 65 crew members in or around Nigerian waters. Globally, 16 vessels were fired upon—including seven in the Gulf of Guinea. In the beginning of the year, the NIMASA director general announced plans for Nigeria to obtain strategic maritime safety and security assets. The move is aligned with the total spectrum of the country’s maritime security strategy, as recently approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in Abuja, focusing on four components: situational awareness, response capability, law enforcement and local partnerships and regional cooperation. https://www.safety4sea.com/pirates-board-vessel-kidnap-three-crew-off-cameroon/?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=security&utm_campaign=article | | | | |

After attack, the ship sailed towards Bonny but didn’t reach any of Nigerian ports in the area, she’s moving in legs south of Bonny since Oct 27, with Nigerian Navy ship at her side. What’s up, is unclear. Maybe pirates remain on board being unable to flee the ship because of nearby Navy?

All save 2 ANUKET AMBER officers, including Master, were kidnapped, only 2 officer and 2 engineer were spared. Tanker had been ransacked, crew were robbed of anything of any value, they literally, were left with what they were wearing at the time of attack, mostly shorts and T-shirts. I’ve been told that the crew on board on arrival to Lome were cut off all communications including email, “for security reasons”. Nov 2 Update: Latest update from relatives - 4 crew from offshore tug and an unknown number of ANUKET AMBER crew were kidnapped. Nov 2 Update: Tanker was released and as of 0530 UTC Nov 2, was sailing in northwest direction south of Lome Togo, destination unknown, with armed security on board. Crew understood to be safe and weel. Most probably, tanker was released after pirates siphoned from tanker its’ cargo of fuel. No news yet on 4 crew kidnapped from offshore supply ship ARK TZE (IMO 9418767, dwt 2319). Nov 1 Update: offshore supply ship ARK TZE (IMO 9418767, dwt 2319) 15 crew include 12 Indonesian, 2 Myanmar and 1 Ukrainian nationalities. Among 4 kidnapped 3 Indonesians and 1 Ukrainian. Oct 31 Update: Tanker ANUKET AMBER was bunkering LPG tanker BW FRIGG (IMO 9733337, dwt 54446), pirates attacked both ships in vicinity 04 47S 010 07E, west of Pointe Noire. BW FRIGG managed to escaped, ANUKET AMBER was hijacked. Same day in roughly the same area pirates reportedly, attacked offshore supply ship ARK TZE (IMO 9418767, dwt 2319) and kidnapped 4 crew, kidnapped seamen later were transferred to hijacked tanker ANUKET AMBER. Oct 31 Update: Relatives gave their consent to public all known details. Crew consists of a dozen seamen, including Latvian, Filipino, Russian and Ukrainian nationalities. As of 1530 UTC Oct 31, no news yet, no AIS, understood no communication. Oct 30: Two cargo ships were attacked by pirates west of Pointe Noire Congo, West Africa, at around 1300 UTC Oct 29. One managed to escape, another one was hijacked. It’s tanker ANUKET AMBER, according to information I received from crew relatives, who’re understandably, very worried. They’ve been told by crewing company, that connection with ship was lost, manager and other involved parties are taking all necessary measures. They weren’t told if the ship was hijacked or troubled by other accident. No news, no AIS signal since then, so presumably, tanker was hijacked with the purpose of stealing its' cargo. If pirates were in for crew and ransom, they’d already leave tanker with kidnapped crew, and tanker should already re-emerge. https://www.fleetmon.com/maritime-news/ ... nications/ | | | | |
