Master Taken
The Bangladeshi master of an ExxonMobil-chartered offshore vessel has reportedly been kidnapped following an armed attack off Nigeria on Monday.
Reports indicate that 20 armed men assaulted the “AHST Wilbert Tide” between Bonny and Calabar River before abducting the master and leaving the remaining 19 crew onboard the Tidewater-owned vessel. The incident occurred close to ExxonMobil’s Oso gas field.
