ITF Seafarers’ Section Coordinator, Fabrizio Barcellona, said:
“This is a desperate situation with ten seafarers kidnapped, their crew mates threatened with execution, and their families pleading for help. We hope that these seafarers can be brought home as soon as possible – and that all relevant governments and international agencies do everything they can to ensure this happens.
“At the same time, it’s vital that governments take action to stop piracy from taking place. It’s well known that the Gulf of Guinea is a hotbed for piracy, and it would be reassuring if West African states reconfirmed their commitment to combat piracy through joint patrols and coordinated naval operations.
“Without this joined up action, we fear that piracy will increase – and it is innocent seafarers who will pay the price.”
