| It has been reported that there has been an attempted robbery on a Hong-Kong flagged cargo ship anchored off the coast of Johor, Malaysia. One perpetrator was seen attempting to climb the anchor chain but was unsuccessful because of the hawse-pipe cover in place, which prevented the robber from progressing. Upon being discovered the perpetrator climbed down and retreated to a small boat waiting near the anchor chain. The Master reported that all crew were safe, and the vessel does not require any assistance. | |||||
