Fifteen crew members have been kidnapped from a De Poli chemical tanker after a pirate attack on Thursday.
De Poli Shipmanagement confirmed that 15 of the 21 seafarers working aboard the 19,800-dwt Davide B (built 2016) were taken from the ship as it sailed roughly 210 nautical miles (390 km) south of Cotonou, Benin, around 4pm local time (1500 GMT).
