A Greek tanker feared hijacked off Africa has been spotted.
Africanews TV said the Centre Regional de la Securite Maritime de l'Afrique Centrale (CRESMAC) had located the 10,700-dwt Pantelena (built 2006) off Pointe Noire in the Republic of Congo on Thursday morning.
Captain Goliele Ruddy, deputy chief of operations at CRESMAC, confirmed in an interview with the TV station that the tanker had been spotted off the coast of the Republic of Congo and that it had lost signal due to inadequate technical equipment.
