Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Wide-Juliet

On February 14, 2020, the freighter Maersk Tema faced a harrowing attack by two pirate vessels approximately 170 miles offshore in the Gulf of Guinea, near Nigeria. At the time of the incident, the Maersk Tema was traveling at a speed of 19.4 knots. Shortly thereafter, the vessel reduced its speed and altered its course, ultimately going adrift as the assault unfolded. Reports suggest that two pirates boarded the ship, while the crew took refuge in the citadel, adhering to their emergency protocols. The management company, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM), promptly reported the incident to the Guinea Anti-Piracy Reporting Center and is working closely with pertinent maritime authorities in the region. A Nigerian patrol ship, SVS 'Teach' (IMO: 9686534), was dispatched towards the freighter, expecting to arrive within a few hours. By February 15, the situation had evolved, with Maersk Tema heading towards Lagos at a speed of 13 knots, accompanied by patrol efforts from both the Nigerian vessel and a ship from the Portuguese Navy operating in the vicinity.
