Four crew members have been abducted from two vessels attacked by pirates off Equatorial Guinea on the same day.
And a Cosco VLCC was also pursued by a speedboat off Cameroon as the threat from these groups shows no sign of abating.
The Russia embassy in Equatorial Guinea said on Facebook that pirates had not yet made ransom demands for two of its citizens kidnapped from the 1,600-dwt research ship Djibloho (built 1989) on 9 May.
