A Pol-Euro Shipping Lines boxship operated by CMA CGM has reportedly been attacked in the Gulf of Guinea 95 nautical miles (175km) south of the Nigerian Brass Terminal.
The 3,108-teu, Maltese-flagged Port Gdynia (built 2011) was apparently boarded by an unknown number of attackers as it headed from Lome to Bata, in Equitorial Guinea.
Maritime security intelligence company Dryad Global said: “Details regarding the welfare of the crew remain unknown at this time.”
