It has been reported that there has been an attempted robbery on a supply vessel whilst underway approximately 7nm of Puerto Dos Boscas, Mexico. The crew noticed the perpetrators approaching on a speedboat from behind an oil installation, the alarm was raised and a distress call was broadcasted on VHF Ch 16. Three other vessels operating nearby intervened by approaching and using their searchlights, which resulted in the speedboat departing without successfully boarding the supply vessel. |
