| It has been reported that an attempted robbery occurred on a bulk carrier whilst underway in the Eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme, Singapore Straits. Duty crew spotted five robbers onboard the vessel and raised the alarm. All doors were closed and the crew mustered which resulted in the perpetrators escaping empty handed. The incident was reported to both the Port Authorities and the MMEA who sent a vessel to escort the bulk carrier to a safe anchor position so an investigation could be completed. | |||||
