Norwegian shipping company Knutsen is considering beefing up security aboard its vessels after one of its LNG carriers came under attack by pirates off Nigeria.
A spokesperson said the company has “all options open” including the use of private security in response to its first brush with pirates, amid an apparent escalation of attacks off the west coast of Africa.
