Pirates boarded a container ship off the coast of Nigeria, seizing 11 crew members, including eight polish sailors. The attackers struck the MV Pomerania Sky, bound for the Nigerian port of Onne, early on Saturday, 27/10/2018 abducting 11 of the crew. Nine others remained on board and were, however unharmed.

Kidnappings and activities of pirates in Nigeria and the Gulf of Guinea are common.
