Pirates strike again in Gulf of Guinea

Pirates boarded a tanker working as a bunkering vessel in the Gulf of Guinea region and reportedly stole cargo from the ship before leaving.
Analysts from Dryad Global are linking the confirmed boarding of the product tanker B. Ocean, a 5,700 dwt vessel operating under the flag of the Marshall Islands, to an earlier warning from MDAT-GOG of irregular activity along the western coast of Ghana.
“The group is suspected to be a criminal group, possibly a pirate action group that is planning to attack vessels at sea,” MDAT said in its advisory.
Dryad reports that the owners of the product tanker lost contact with the vessel later that same day.
The boarding of the product tanker and the thief from its cargo was later confirmed.
“The maritime crime and piracy footprint throughout the area is historically low,” reports Dryad in its analysis of the incident.
Dryad in its analysis notes that this could represent an expansion of the area in which pirates are working, possibly in response to the increased enforcement efforts in the region near Nigeria which has been the historic focus of most of the activity in the region.
Last week, the Ghana Navy announced that its forces had been contracted to provide security and asset protection at two offshore oil fields.
