A Maltese registered vessel was last night the target of a pirate attack off the coast of Nigeria.  Six armed persons boarded the vessel, while shooting at the crew.  Money and private effects were stolen and communication systems destroyed before the pirates disembarked.  The Master and Chief Engineer suffered slight injuries but otherwise all crew are reported to be safe.  The vessel has now sailed out of the hostile area and the emergency team at the managers’ office are trying to contact the port authorities for assistance and to investigate further.
