一艘在西非海岸附近航行的货轮遭遇海盗暴力登船，袭击过程中一名受伤船员被绑架。

该事件发生在尼日利亚与圣多美和普林西比之间的海域——尽管近期全球海上犯罪总体下降，但该地区海盗活动却日益猖獗。  

这艘悬挂库拉索旗的货轮从喀麦隆杜阿拉出发，前往刚果民主共和国马塔迪途中，遭到七名武装分子袭击。

根据海事安全报告，5月29日下午，海盗在圣安东尼奥西北约75海里、尼日利亚邦尼西北约118海里处登船。  

包括"几内亚湾贸易海域态势感知组织"（MDAT-GoG）和英国海上贸易行动办公室（UKMTO）在内的安全机构证实，多数船员及时躲进安全舱，并通过船载监控系统观察局势。

但一名后来确认为大管轮的船员受伤后被劫持。  

初期关于被绑船员身份存在混乱，后续更新确认大管轮失踪。

轮机长被证实安全身处安全舱，而船长稍后被发现在船上。

袭击导致船舶驾驶台设备受损，船只一度处于失控状态。

事发时观测到该船航速从13节骤降至3节，且自5月29日离开杜阿拉后关闭了AIS信号，直至30日下午才恢复传输。  

截至5月31日，MDAT-GoG确认海盗已离船，但受伤船员仍下落不明，据信已被武装团伙扣为人质。

当局随后登船协助剩余船员，并护送该船前往安全港口，敦促航运界保持高度警惕。  

安全咨询公司Ambrey建议几内亚湾船只通行前进行风险评估，并尽可能配备武装安保。

非洲风险合规机构指出，这是该地区自3月以来首起绑架事件——当时比图河号成品油轮遭类似袭击，10名船员被劫。  

观察人士表示，尽管海盗事件总数下降，几内亚湾仍是高危海域，海盗以绑架高价值船员为目标。

近月来该地区已发生持续四小时的登船劫掠，甚至出现杀害船员威胁。

航运企业被敦促在该区域通行时保持极端谨慎，发现可疑活动立即上报。

英文原文

A cargo ship sailing off the coast of West Africa was violently boarded by pirates, who kidnapped an injured crew member during the assault.

The incident took place between Nigeria and São Tomé and Príncipe, a region increasingly known for piracy despite a recent overall decline in maritime crimes.

The vessel, flagged in Curaçao, was en route from Douala, Cameroon, to Matadi, Democratic Republic of Congo, when seven armed men attacked it.

According to maritime security reports, the pirates boarded the ship on the afternoon of May 29, roughly 75 nautical miles northwest of Santo Antonio and about 118 nautical miles northwest of Bonny, Nigeria.

Security sources, including the Maritime Domain Awareness for Trade in the Gulf of Guinea (MDAT-GoG) and UKMTO, reported that most of the crew locked themselves in the citadel and monitored the situation via onboard ***. However, one crew member, identified later as the second engineer, was injured and abducted by the attackers.

There was confusion initially over which crew member was taken, but later updates confirmed the second engineer was missing. The first engineer was confirmed safe in the citadel, while the chief engineer was later located onboard.

The attack caused damage to equipment on the ship’s bridge, and for a period, the vessel was not under the command of its master. It was observed slowing from 13 knots to 3 knots during the incident, and had also switched off its AIS signal after departing Douala on May 29, only resuming transmission on May 30 afternoon.

By May 31, MDAT-GoG confirmed the ship had been thoroughly searched and cleared, with no pirates remaining onboard. The injured crew member, however, remained unaccounted for and is believed to have been taken hostage by the armed group.

Authorities later boarded the vessel to assist the remaining crew and began escorting the ship to a safe port. The shipping and maritime security community has been urged to remain vigilant.

Security firm Ambrey Analytics advised ships operating in the Gulf of Guinea to assess risks before transit and consider engaging armed security where possible. Africa Risk Compliance stated that this was the first kidnapping incident in the region since March, when 10 seafarers were abducted from the Bitu River product tanker in a similarly violent pirate attack.

Observers said that despite a drop in overall piracy figures, the Gulf of Guinea remains a dangerous zone, with pirates targeting vessels for high-value kidnappings. In recent months, similar attacks have included four-hour onboard raids and even threats of execution against crew members.

Ships in the region are being urged to transit with extreme caution and report any suspicious activity immediately.
