Armed pirates.
Two vessels have been attacked by pirates; one in the Gulf of Guinea and the other just outside of it, possibly by the same pirate group.
On 6 February, 133 nautical miles north-east of São Tomé and Príncipe, the Marshall Island flagged chemical tanker Sea Phantom was attacked and boarded by pirates. The chemical tanker was underway from Lomé, Togo when she was attacked 90 nautical miles west of Bata, Equatorial Guinea, within the eastern boundaries of the São Tomé and Príncipe exclusive economic zone. According to Praesidium International, the crew managed to retreat to into the citadel as the vessel was successfully boarded by pirates. Eight men are believed to still be onboard.
