Tanker missing in Gulf of Guinea

Tanker missing in Gulf of Guinea: A Bahamas-flagged tanker carrying more than 32,000 metric tonnes of gasoline is reported missing Monday after it left the Ivory Coast unexpectedly in the early hours of Saturday.

The tanker Orfeas, with two Greeks and 22 Filipinos crew on board, was to have to discharge its cargo at Abidjan. But, it reportedly headed south without orders or explanation.

The vessel's manager said it tried repeatedly to contact the crew but to no avail.

The ship's last known position suggests that she may have been sailing towards Lagos, Nigeria.
