Before escaping the pirates stole crew personal belongings and ship’s properties. After the pirates departure, the crew sailed to a safe port
While carrying out pre-departure checks the duty AB noticed wet footsteps on the poop deck. On carrying out further checks he noticed the padlocks to the steering gear and engine room were removed and engine spares missing. Alarm raised, crew mustered and a search was carried out. The incident was reported to Port VTS and local agents. No intruders were found on board.
Eight robbers boarded an anchored tanker during the pre-departure inspection. They assaulted the duty AB on security rounds.

Two robbers armed with knives boarded an anchored bulk carrier. They held a knife to the duty watchman’s neck and took him hostage. At the same time, the OOW called the watchman, who was forced to reply and indicate all clear. The robbers then tied up the watchman, removed the hawse pipe cover and let another robber onboard. They broke into the paint locker and bosun stores and stole ship’s stores. The OOW noticed some abnormal movements on the forecastle and raised the alarm. The robbers stole the personal belongings of the watchman before escaping. Crew mustered and a search was carried out.
Duty crew on anti-piracy watch onboard a berthed product tanker noticed a robber attempting to board via the poop deck using a hook attached with rope and informed the OOW in the cargo control room. As the robber approached the ship’s railing the duty crew shouted at him resulting in the robber escaping. A search was made throughout the tanker. It was reported that nothing was stolen.

Three rocket flares were fired. The Master headed towards the Okwari oil field to seek assistance from the security vessels but seeing the boats aborting and moving away the Master altered and headed towards Bonny fairway buoy. The ship sustained damages due to the firing.
