Danish-owned ship attacked by pirates in Gulf of Guinea.

Pirates attacked and boarded a Danish-owned tanker in the Gulf of Guinea, one of the world's most dangerous shipping routes. All 16 crew members sought refuge in a safe room on board the Monjasa Reformer vessel. The vessel is operated by Montec Ship Management, which is owned by Monjasa. Maritime authorities in the region, including several navies, are working to ensure the safety of the crew and vessel. The Gulf of Guinea covers 11,000 square kilometres and stretches from Angola to Senegal.
