LPG Tanker Owner Still Unable To Reach Pirates After Abduction of 9 Seafarers In Gulf of Guinea
Denmark’s Christiania Gas is still trying to establish contact with the pirate group that abducted nine seafarers from its LPG tanker CGas Saturn during an attack in the Gulf of Guinea last week.
The company said it is continuing efforts to reach those holding the abducted crew, with the aim of securing their earliest and safe release. It described the situation as a matter of significant concern.
The Portugal-flagged LPG tanker, the 3,090-dwt CGas Saturn, built in 2003, was boarded by pirates on 3 December, resulting in nine crew members being taken from the vessel.
A spokesperson for Christiania Gas confirmed on Friday that four other seafarers had remained on board and managed to navigate the ship to a safe berth in a West African port following the attack.
One of the four sustained injuries during the incident and is currently receiving treatment in an onshore hospital.
The company said through its spokesperson that it is working closely with international authorities and experts, along with its partners, as part of the response efforts. It also said all possible support is being provided to the next of kin of the kidnapped seafarers during this difficult period.
Christiania Gas, part of the Fridtjof Eitzen-led and Eitzen family-controlled Christiania Shipping, stated that it would not release further details at this stage, stating that sharing additional information could risk the safety of the crew still being held.
The company requested that this position be respected until the situation develops.
