An AM Nomikos-managed containership has thwarted another piracy attack in the Gulf of Guinea.
The 2,755-teu Atlantic Discoverer (built 2004) was the subject of an attempted boarding 72 nautical miles (133km) south of Cotonou in Benin on Sunday, according to security consultancy Ambrey.
AM Nomikos told TradeWinds that the ship was approached by a suspicious skiff off Lagos Sunday at around 2000 GMT.
