The energy specialists decried the spate of attacks on tanker vessels conveying petroleum products, while raising alarm on the criminal act of smuggling petroleum products through the high sea. MaritimeSecurity Nigeria
Some energy, security and maritime experts, who spoke at the ongoing Global Maritime Security Conference organised by Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency , in Abuja, said the spate of attack in the Gulf of Guinea was a dangerous signal for the petroleum sector, noting that any daring attack would be disastrous.
“Last year we noticed more incidences on the waters, attacking tanker vessels. During the first quarter of 2019, we have also noticed increased firepower from the attackers showing that they are more coordinated and determined. The fact that they are showing more determination shows that we should also display more determination as well,” he said.
He said they were working to reduce human exposure and deploy a facility protection boat for a safer terrain. He suggested that cyber security must be ready to adopt strategies to attack them, adding that any assault on facilities would be disastrous.
