The vessel in question, MT TURA II (IMO number: 6620462), is registered under the Nigerian company HOLAB MARITIME SERVICES LIMITED (Registration Number RC813311). It was en route to Cameroon when it was intercepted at an offshore location (Latitude: 5.8197194477543235°, Longitude: 4.789002723991871°), with both the captain and crew members on board.

Further scrutiny of the vessel’s activities at the NNPC Ltd. Command and Control Centre revealed that it had been operating stealthily for the past twelve (12) years. The last reported location of the vessel was Tin Can Port in July 2011. CONTINUE READING

Subsequently, the authorities were promptly informed of this arrest, and the findings of the investigations have led to the decision to destroy the vessel. This action serves as a robust warning and deterrent to all individuals involved in such illicit activities, urging them to cease and desist.

The destruction of vessels involved in the transportation of stolen crude oil holds immense significance as a strong deterrent. The illicit trade not only inflicts substantial economic losses upon Nigeria and legitimate stakeholders in the oil industry but also perpetuates a cycle of corruption, environmental devastation, and social instability.

NNPC Ltd. reassures Nigerians that the momentum in the battle against crude oil theft will be sustained until it is entirely eradicated. Rest assured, the determination to put an end to this criminal activity remains unwavering.
