SINGAPORE - The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has received a report that a Singapore-registered oil tanker, Success 9, was boarded by unidentified persons at about 300 nautical miles off the Abidjan Coast, Ivory Coast on April 10, 2023.

"There are 20 crew of various nationalities onboard the vessel, of which one of them is a Singapore citizen,” it said in a statement issued late Tuesday.

MPA said it is working closely with the ship owner, Monrovia Regional Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre and the Information Fusion Centre at the Changi Command and Control Centre to monitor the situation and render the necessary assistance. - BERNAMA
