    Military coup in Gabon – Update

    Published on September 1, 2023

    Following what seems to be a military coup which took place on 30-08-23, military leaders seem to have overthrown the central African nation of Gabon ruling government shortly after the incumbent president was re-elected.

    Local correspondents report that the situation in Gabon is currently relatively stable, with country borders currently closed and a curfew being implemented as from 30-08-2023 19:00hrs.

    Correspondents report that roads are closed and operations in ports are seemingly halted. However vessels scheduled to arrive imminently at Libreville and Owendo port appear to be able to berth. However Members are strongly advised to contact their local agents prior to scheduling calls at any port in Gabon and request daily updates in order to assess operational and safety risks involved.

    For any queries relating to this matter, members are invited to contact the NNPC via claims@nnpc.nl.
