The Gulf of Guinea

The Danish Defence Command has continuously monitored and assessed the situation in the Gulf of Guinea, and there have been no significant changes in the area for maritime traffic since the most recent OXXO message issued in December 2023. The Danish Defence Command therefore recommends maintaining MARSEC 2 for the mentioned area.
