One event has been reported to MDAT-GoG this week.
BOARDING
24/06/2020 175/60NM off Cotonou, BENIN
On the 24th June at approximately 1430UTC, a FV (NAME WITHHELD) was boarded in position 05°21N - 002°37E by an unknown number of attackers and two skiffs were seen in the vicinity. Earlier the same day, this FV (NAME WITHHELD) had a suspicious approach perpertrated by two skiffs but succeed to escape them. It seemed that the two events were done by the same group of attackers.
The Beninese authorities dispatched a patrol boat in order to assist and secure the FV (NAME WITHHELD). MDAT-GOG comment: This event was reported time late
