Bevæbnede vagter forhindrer kapring

Bevæbnede vagter om bord på containerskibet MSC Elsa 3 afgav torsdag skud mod angribende pirater, mens skibet befandt sig 49 sømil sydøst for Brass i Nigeria. Skuddet fik piraterne til at afbryde angrebet med det samme og forlade stedet.

Ifølge sikkerhedsfirmaet Ambrey befandt der sig seks eller syv bevæbnede pirater om bord på den hurtiggående motorbåd der nærmede sig containerskibet i høj fart.

Mens de bevæbnede vagter gjorde sig klar til kamp, samledes hovedparten af skibets besætning i citadellet.

MSC Elsa 3 var undervejs fra Lagos til Port Harcourt da angrebet fandt sted.

Tidligere på måneden blev Maersk Cardiff udsat for hele to angreb i samme farvand. Heller ikke her led besætningen nogen overlast.
