{Nigerian militants have reportedly attacked US-flagged platform supply vessel off the coast of Brass, Nigeria.}
Maritime industry news website gCaptain reports that militants attacked the ship after a separate, unrelated attack on a Nigerian security boat that killed members of the Nigerian military’s Joint Task Force.
The website, citing an unidentified source, said the American captain and chief engineer of the supply ship C-Retriever were kidnapped, but the report has not been confirmed. The ship is owned by Louisiana-based Edison Chouest Offshore.
Edison Chouest did not immediately return a request for comment from gCaptain Wednesday.
