Just wait until one of the big LNG ships get hijacked.  Weapon indeed.

And thank you for your comments.


Cheers

You're right on the money there, F2!

By the way, Google states the distance from Nigeria to Liberia is forty-nine hours and over two thousand
kilometres... one wonders if the tanker's origin was where it was berthed when the stowaways boarded the
vessel or had it visited Nigeria for its legitimate cargo of oil before setting off to its destination?

(Is the UK buying oil from Nigeria and Southampton was the Andromeda's final port-of-call or was it just
where the trouble kicked-off? Hmmm!)

'Norway is the main supplier of both crude oil and natural gas for the United Kingdom.
In 2019, some 17.5 million metric tons of crude oil and 1.7 million metric tons of natural gas were imported from Norway.
This is significantly higher than the amount imported from the second entry – the United States. Algeria, Russia and Nigeria
round out the top five origin countries, with Russia being the only other supplier of natural gas to the UK, as this is reliant
on pipeline infrastructure.

That year, the United Kingdom imported approximately 46.9 million metric tons of crude oil and natural gas liquids.

Production of crude oil
In 2018, the UK produced nearly 47.6 million metric tons of crude oil. This was the highest figure since 2011 and an
increase of 21 percent compared to the low of 37.5 million metric tons recorded in 2014....'
