Pirates Hijack Vessel Off Gabon’s Coast

Abraham - July 19, 2013

 

Pirates Hijack Vessel Off Gabon’s Coast

 

As reported here and elsewhere, West Africa’s coast has become the new hotspot for maritime piracy, eclipsing even the notorious coast of Somalia. Most recently a Turkish tanker was hijacked off the coast of Gabon, reports IBN Live, and the fate of the 20 crew are unknown.

 

An anonymous government official confirmed that the pirates have struck, but could not reveal more about the situation.

 

There were already 138 pirate attacks in the regions during the first six months of 2013, but this is a lower number than during the same period of 2012.
