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.
