Event: Report of increased threat to shipping
Date: Initial report received 13 June 2020; verified 14 June 2020.
Description: ARC received a report on 13 June 2020 that there was an increased threat of hijack in Togo and international waters this weekend. On 14 June 2020, this was confirmed by another source. Local Naval forces have also been put
on alert.
