The Nigerian Navy have handed over a tanker vessel “MT Sea Eunice” arrested on August 11, 2022 to the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
The vessel is presently located along Escravos River, close to the Aroton community.
The Base Operation Officer of the Nigerian Navy Ship, Delta (NNS, DELTA) Commander Samuel Musa, noted that the vessel was constantly switching off her Automatic Identification System (AIS), which is a violation of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation that NIMASA implements in Nigeria.
Responding to this development, the NIMASA DG, Bashir Jamoh, lauded the Nigerian Navy for always being proactive in its operations, noting that NIMASA is committed to inter-agency collaboration with the Nigerian Navy.
The District Surveyor, Central Zone, NIMASA, Joshua Oyadiran, who received the vessel on behalf of the agency, assured that investigations would be carried out in line with the mandate of the agency.
