On November 4, 2020, the tanker 'Nefeli II' became the target of a pirate attack in the Gulf of Guinea. The incident occurred at 5:55 a.m. in position 2° 44′ 58.29″ N, 6° 3′ 6.653″ E, approximately 94 nautical miles south-west of Brass, Nigeria, and just 54 nautical miles from the offshore Agbami Terminal. At the time of the attack, the vessel was navigating from Lagos to Douala. Following the assault, the tanker halted and began to drift. Fortunately, the crew, comprised of personnel from Russia, Georgia, and Ukraine, managed to secure themselves in the citadel during the boarding. While the pirates looted the ship, they ultimately fled the scene. Authorities have issued advisories for nearby vessels to operate with increased caution due to the heightened risk in the area.
