Pirates boarded St Kitts flagged general cargo vessel MILAN (IMO 8113619) 14nm NNM near the Pennington Terminal in Nigeria while it was in transit from Escravos to Douala, Cameroon, and abducted 10 crew.

Though the precise time of the attack was unknown, Dryad Global reported that the Automatic Identification System on the ship indicates that the vessel was in a southbound transit when she stopped on the evening of November 25.
