Boxship attacked in Gulf of Guinea
Perpetrators tried to board the "Kota Satria" while the vessel was sailing in the Gulf of Guinea on Feb 21, 2019. More than four men armed with guns onboard an unlit fast boat attempted to board the vessel. Two of the perpetrators attempted to hook a ladder to ship’s hull. However, they were not successful and slowed down the pursuit. The perpetrators then fired two gunshots toward the ship’s bridge and subsequently to the ship’s accommodation. The master initiated security procedures and contacted the company security officer as well as the company’s armed escort vessel and the Nigerian Navy and carried out evasive maneuver. Consequently, the fast boat aborted the pursuit. There were no injuries to the ship’s crew and no damage to the vessel reported. In addition, no items were stolen. Following the incident, the ship met an armed escort ship and proceeded to the port of Onne where it berthed on Feb 22 and sailed on Feb 28, bound to Singapore, ETA March 27.
