Our friends and colleagues at Dryad Global assess that the floating and processing ship FPSO SENDJE BERGE has been attacked by unknown armed men off the coast of Nigeria at the Okwori Terminal. Further reports indicate that up to 11 personnel may have been kidnapped from the vessel.
This attack is distinctive regarding offshore vessel incidents within West Africa. Both the manner of attack and target are beyond the usual targeting and attack methodology of pirate action groups within Nigeria.
