Loss of communication with vessel MT Barrett

The Union Maritime vessel, MT Barrett, a tanker which was at anchor off Benin, West Africa has not been heard from since late on Tuesday 9th January.

On Wednesday we alerted local maritime authorities and are exploring all possible options and efforts as we continuously monitor the situation.

Whilst we are tirelessly working to locate the vessel, our primary concern is for the 22 crew on board and ensuring their safety.

Union Maritime regularly operates from ports in this region and has a rigorous safety and security protocol. Crews are repeatedly drilled in all safety and emergency procedures.

The MT Barrett (IMO: 9351749) is a 11999-dwt tanker built 2005 and registered in the Marshall Islands.
