Piraten aan boord op Nederlands zeeschip

Pirates boarded ship off Nigeria

The 'UAL Houston' was attacked and boarded by six pirates on July 13 at 0745 a.m.
in position 04 07N 007 00E near Port Harcourt

The crew locked themselves inside the superstructure so that the pirates failed to capture anyone and failed to break into the living quarters

They then fled the vessel, leaving the crew safe and sound, and nothing was stolen
