The MDAT-GoG have released a notice stating that they believe there is an increased threat of piracy over the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours to mariners in Zone E, which is from Togo to Cameroon and that the Piracy Action Groups are likely to use a mother ship to support their operations. They have also added that they strongly recommend that the seafaring community and ships transiting this area increase their vigilance and retain enhanced local surveillance and apply BMP WA procedures
Update : The MDAT-GoG have now reduced the threat thanks to successful security operations ashore in Nigeria.
