Union Maritime, the UK-based shipowner, says it has lost contact with one of its product tankers off the coast of West Africa.
The 11,999-dwt Barrett (built 2005), which was at anchor off Benin, West Africa has not been heard from since late on 9 January.
“On Wednesday we alerted local maritime authorities and are exploring all possible options and efforts as we continuously monitor the situation,” Union Maritime said.
