The Ghana Navy is investigating a suspected pirate attack on the Ghanaian-registered fishing vessel Mengxin 1 in Ghanaian waters on March 27, 2025.
Brigadier General E.
Aggrey-Quashie confirmed the incident, stating, "Seven armed individuals boarded the ship, fired warning shots, and confiscated crew members' mobile phones.
After three hours, they departed, but the Captain, Chief Mate, and Chief Engineer-all Chinese nationals-were missing, suspected to have been kidnapped." The crew managed to report the incident after sailing closer to land due to a lack of network coverage at sea.
