Armed guards have fought off an attack by pirates on a Turkish tanker off Nigeria.
A spokesman for owner Besiktas Group told TradeWinds that the 20,000-dwt chemical/product vessel Lagertha (built 2009) was approached by a pirate skiff on Wednesday evening 60 miles off Bonny.
"Luckily we had eight armed guards on board from the Nigerian navy in Lagos," he said.
