据报道,6名船员于2023年6月30日在西非海域被海盗从一艘普通货船上绑架后获释。
这是Ambrey安保公司收到的报告,没有其他信息。
Ambrey说,此案结案后,西非一些犯罪集团针对一些商船实施绑架勒索的威胁有所增加。
这六人是从刚果共和国控制的1300载重吨的Oya 1号船(1986年建造)上被绑架的,当时停泊在喀麦隆Doula附近的一个锚地。
大约六年前,这艘船也经历过类似的袭击。
据悉,这艘船归Ocean Express (Pointe Noire)所有,该公司目前尚未发表评论。
Ambrey表示,事发时Oya 1号的干舷高度为1.84米。
该公司观察到喀麦隆的两艘军舰对这一事件作出反应,几分钟后抵达现场。一小时后他们离开了。
绑架事件发生前三天,西非海盗袭击的威胁加剧,令船主们感到震惊。
Ambrey提到,这证实了在几内亚湾水域活动的海军之间发出的信息。
2017年袭击
海军成功地评估了商船面临的可信风险和威胁,特别是那些在尼日利亚、赤道几内亚和喀麦隆海域过境的商船。
2017年(8月),该船也曾遭到海盗袭击。
Oya 1号当时在尼日利亚海域。
该船从加纳塔科拉迪出发前往邦尼后,五名船员被绑架。
两名军官Abdelkader Benhala和Ahmed Janani也被带走。
在2023年6月的袭击之前,这艘悬挂巴拿马国旗的船只Oya 1从安哥拉的罗安达抵达。
登船时,该船距离港口约一海里,自前一天起就停泊在那里。

英文原文
Six crew members have reportedly been released by pirates following their kidnappings from a general cargo vessel on 30 June 2023 off West Africa.
This is per reports the security firm Ambrey received that had no additional information.
Ambrey said that since this case has been concluded, there is an enhanced threat of kidnaps for ransom against some merchant vessels from some West African criminal syndicates.
The six were abducted from the Republic of Congo-controlled 1,300-dwt Oya 1 (constructed in 1986) at an anchorage off Doula based in Cameroon.
The vessel had experienced a similar attack about six years back.
The vessel is known to be owned by Ocean Express (Pointe Noire), and it has not commented so far.
Ambrey said that the Oya 1 had a 1.84-metre freeboard at the time of the incident.
The firm observed two military vessels from Cameroon responding to the incident, arriving at the scene in some minutes. They departed slightly over after one hour.
Three days before the kidnapping, the shipowners were alarmed by an enhanced threat of pirate attacks off West Africa.
Ambrey mentioned that it had corroborated a message sent between the navies operating in the Gulf of Guinea waters.
2017 attack
The navies successfully assessed a credible risk and threat to merchant vessels, particularly those transiting the waters off Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroon.
The vessel was also targeted by pirates in 2017 (August).
The Oya 1 was off Nigeria at that time.
Five crew members were abducted after the vessel departed for Bonny from Takoradi in Ghana.
Two officers — Abdelkader Benhala and Ahmed Janani — were among the ones taken.
The Panama-flagged vessel Oya 1 had reached from Luanda in Angola before the June 2023 attack.
The vessel was approximately one nautical mile off the port when it was boarded and was anchored there since the day before.
