A gang of pirates has fired shots at an LNG carrier off Bonny in Nigeria.
The IMB reported that the unnamed ship was chased and attacked on 6 November, 30 nautical miles off the coast.
Nine gunmen were seen in a speedboat.
The vessel raised the alarm and all crew mustered in the citadel.
The pirates approached the vessel several times but due to the increased speed and evasive manoeuvres, they could not board and aborted the attack.
