Rise in Pirate Attacks off West Africa's Gulf of Guinea

Pirates attacked a Danish-owned ship in the Gulf of Guinea and took some of the crew members hostage before abandoning the vessel on a small island off of West Africa. It is unclear how many crew members were taken, their nationalities, or where they are now. The Gulf of Guinea is listed as the world's most dangerous location for piracy. The Monjasa Reformer is one of 30 commercial vessels used to transport marine fuels across the globe, and no damage to the vessel or its cargo has been reported.

Pirates seize crew members in multiple attacks off West and Central Africa

Pirates have abandoned a Danish-owned ship hijacked in the Gulf of Guinea last week but have taken some crew members with them while others have been brought to safety. The Liberian-flagged oil and chemicals tanker Monjasa Reformer was boarded on Saturday by five armed people 225km (140 miles) west of the Republic of Congo’s Port Pointe-Noire. The rescued crew members are all in good health, and no damage was reported to the ship or its cargo. The Gulf of Guinea is one of the world’s most dangerous shipping routes, covering 11,000sq km (4,247sq miles) and stretching from Angola to Senegal.

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.
