The Jascon-4 capsized early on Sunday due to "heavy ocean swells" while the vessel was "performing towing operations" at a mooring point around 30 kilometres off oil-producing Delta state, Chevron's Nigeria unit said on Sunday.
"Unfortunately all twelve crew members are still missing," a spokeswoman for the ship's owner West African Ventures said.
"Rescue operations involving sea divers are still ongoing and a full investigation into the incident is taking place," she said. West African Ventures is owned by Sea Trucks Group.
Chevron Nigeria declined to give an update.
