Polsk fragtskib angrebet i Guineabugten

Det polsk ejede fragtskib ESL Australia, der sejler under cypriotisk flag, blev sent onsdag eftermiddag angrebet af pirater, mens det befandt sig 44 sømil sydvest for Bonny Island i Nigeria. Det lykkedes piraterne at trænge om bord på skibet.

Dryad Global, der er kilde til oplysningerne, har i øjeblikket ingen yderligere oplysninger om angrebet, ud over at besætningen menes at have forskanset sig i skibets citadel - og at nigerianske flådestyrker er på vej til positionen.

Farvandet syd for Bonny Island er berygtet for mange piratoverfald. Alene i år har der været fem angreb, og sidste år var der fire angreb.

ESL Australia, der har en tonnage på 17.356 DWT, var undervejs fra Takoradi i Ghana til Douala i Cameroon da angrebet fandt sted.
