On November 7, the 25.5 meter long tugboat Sema III (IMO: 8858441) sprung a leak in the Bight of Bonny approximately 30 nautical miles off the coast of Mbo, Nigeria. The Sema III was headed to Calabar from Malabo, Equatorial Guinea when it suffered uncontrolled water ingress.  The tugboat would partially flood causing a list to starboard. The crew sent out a distress call with the Nigerian Navy responding.  A gunboat would arrive on scene a short time later and evacuated the 10 crew off the Sema III.  A dewatering pump was deployed which was able to control the water ingress.  Reports state several crew members suffered from mild hypothermia.  No further details reported.
