Product tanker NEW RANGER was attacked at around 0720 UTC Dec 5 in Gulf of Guinea, some 200 nm south of Lagos Nigeria, while en route from Luba Equatorial Guinea, to Douala Cameroon.
Reportedly the ship was boarded, AIS went off at the time of attack, reappeared half an hour later.
At 1220 UTC she was steaming at her cruising speed, in general direction of her port of destination.
Not yet confirmed report said the crew are safe, and if hopefully, it is true, it means that crew managed to shelter in citadel, while pirates looted superstructure.
