Maritime security consultants are downplaying the threat to seafarers who take refuge in ship citadels, following a fatal pirate attack on a Borealis Maritime containership.
One seafarer was killed and 15 more kidnapped from the 2,824-teu Mozart (built 2007) on the morning of 24 January 2021, around 98 nautical miles (185 km) off Sao Tome and Principe in the Gulf of Guinea.
