A Hafnia product tanker is reported to have thwarted a potential pirate attack off Ghana on Tuesday morning.
The piracy reporting body Maritime Domain Awareness for Trade — Gulf of Guinea (MDAT-GoG) said a vessel had been approached while transiting from Lome in Togo to Abidjan in Ivory Coast, 74 nautical miles (137 km) south-east of Takoradi.
MDAT-GoG said a speedboat was seen with nine to 10 people and a ladder on board.
