On July 21, 2019, at approximately 2:40 AM, the cargo vessel Pomerenia Sky, located at position 08°28'00" N, 13°28'10" W, became the target of a violent robbery while moored at the Freetown anchorage. A small wooden boat approached the ship, and five armed robbers, equipped with knives, boarded the vessel using a cleverly rigged hook and rope. They took a duty crew member hostage, stealing personal belongings and other valuables from the ship. However, the crew quickly noticed the intrusion and raised the alarm. They secured all access points and mustered together, which prompted the intruders to flee in panic. Fortunately, Freetown Port control was alerted to the situation, and while the duty crew member sustained some injuries during the incident, there were no further casualties. The Pomerenia Sky resumed its journey, departing Freetown on July 22, with a destination set for Nouakchott and an estimated arrival date of July 27.
