Pirate approach GoG

A Denmark-flagged tanker has been approached by a suspicious boat off the coast of Ghana but managed to avoid a potential attack.

This is according to Praesidium International, which said the Hafnia Phoenix on 22 September reported being approached by a speedboat carrying nine or ten people with a ladder whilst 150 km southeast of Takoradi. The tanker increased its speed and performed evasive manoeuvres, forcing the perpetrators to abort their approach.
