Dryad: Eagle Bulk’s Ultramax boarded by pirates February 1, 2021, by Jasmina Ovcina
An Ultramax bulker named Rowayton Eagle has been boarded by a group of pirates some 200 nautical miles of the coast of Accra, Ghana, Dryad Global informed.
The 2013-built bulker is listed in Eagle Bulk’s fleet.
The ship, which had been drifting since January 27th, was boarded on January 30 with the incident reportedly still ongoing.
“This the 7
th offshore incident this year and the third recorded offshore boarding. Total incidents throughout West Africa in 2020 showed a partial increase of 12% on those of 2019,” Dryad Global said.
“Incidents involving failed approaches showed a significant increase within 2020 with 25 such incidents recorded against 10 in 2019. Unsuccessful attempts at boardings are likely to increase desperation, particularly with incidents deep offshore distant from shore lines.”
