A second pirate attack in two days has failed in the Gulf of Guinea after a Greek suezmax came under fire on Friday.
Security consultancy Ambrey reported that criminals in a white speedboat approached the 159,000-dwt Minerva Evropi (built 2018) 205 nautical miles off Bayelsa in Nigeria.
They fired shots but the ship performed evasive manoeuvres to deter the attack, and the pirates gave up and left the area.
