Dear

Please find below our most recent Flash Report. If you have any queries about our reports please contact us at africaops@castorvali.com

Following recent incidents off the coasts of Ghana and Ivory Coast, which is not a normal hot spot for piracy incidents, mariners are advised to remain vigilant at all times whilst operating in these waters and surrounding waters, especially in the coming weeks according to the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre. This information is also in conjunction with creditable information being received stating that Pirate Action Groups in the Bayelsa State, Nigeria are planning to launch speedboats deep offshore to attack vessels with the aim to kidnap crew for ransom. All vessels must maintain a strict Anti-Piracy Watch and any suspicious activity witnessed must be reported to the local authorities.
