Pirater angiber heavylifter i Guineabugten

Pirater angreb fredag den kinesisk ejede heavylifter Zhen Hua 7, da skibet befandt sig 78 sømil nordvest for Sao Tome i Guineabugten. Oplysningerne er endnu begrænsede, men ifølge sikkerhedsfirmaet Dryad Global har piraterne formentlig kidnappet flere besætningsmedlemmer.

Heavylifter fra Shanghai Zhenhua Shipping.

Angrebet er det ottende i Guineabugten på kun ni dage, og bringer antallet af kidnapninger i Guineabugten op på 21 i år. 95 besætningsmedlemmer er indtil nu blevet holdt som gidsler i kortere eller længere tid.

Den voldsomme stigning i antallet af angreb i Guineabugten fik i denne uge den danske forsvarsminister Trine Bramsen til at kontakte andre europæiske lande i et forsøg på at opbygge en koalition, der kan tackle truslerne mod skibsfarten i Guineabugten.

Sikkerhedsfirmaet Ambrey, der ligesom Dryad Global følger udviklingen tæt, vurderer nu, at det ikke længere er nok at indrettet et citadel om bord, men at det også kan være nødvendigt at hyre lokale bevæbnede vagter, eller indgå aftaler med sikkerhedsfartøjer der ledsager skibene.
