On Sunday, November third, this article was uploaded about pirates who boarded a shipping vessel kidnapped nine crew members off the coast of Benin in West Africa early Saturday morning. The ship was anchored at the Cotonou port to discharge a shipment of gypsum when the pirated boarded. The emergency response team from J. J is currently working with authorities on this case. It was also stated by the reporters that seas around West Africa remain the world's most dangerous for piracy. They reported that 73% of all kid napping at sea and 92% of hostage-takings took place in the Gulf in Guinea from January to June this year.
