Conflicting reports surrounding a third boarding of a Greek handysize tanker by pirates off Nigeria within 10 days have now been resolved, TradeWinds has learned.
Piracy reporting bodies said the 12,950-dwt New Ranger (built 2007) was the subject of yet another attack by gunmen in the Gulf of Guinea, 160 nautical miles (296 km) south-west of Brass on Tuesday.
But the incident was reported as a false alarm by security sources on Wednesday.
