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

Pirates have attacked and boarded a Danish-owned ship, Monjasa Reformer, in the Gulf of Guinea. All 16 crew members sought refuge in a safe room onboard the Liberian-flagged oil and chemical tanker. The vessel is operated by Dubai-based Montec Ship Management, which is owned by Monjasa. The Gulf of Guinea has become a global piracy hotspot in recent years, although cases have fallen there since 2021 as national authorities stepped up security efforts aided by foreign naval ships.
