👉 In Libya, amidst the continuation of port protests, the Libyan National Oil Corporation has declared a state force majeure on the As Sidra and Ras Lanuf oil termi- nals, with the continuation of the state of force majeure on the terminals of Brega and Zeuitina. Meanwhile there have been protests against deteriorating living conditions and the delay of the December 21 federal elections across nine Libyan cities including Tripoli, Tobruk, Benghazi and Misratah.
👉 In Nigeria, stakeholders in the maritime industry have warned that over 70% of Nigerian seafarers are unemployed which could lead to a spike in piracy incidents in Nigerian waters. Professional seafarers who are trained and subsequently unable to obtain employ- ment, are able to use their knowledge and capabilities to execute sophisticated maritime attacks for income. Whilst there have been five months without a reported piracy attack in Nigerian waters, conditions of insecurity still remain, with a prevalence of incidents within the Southern Niger Delta.
