| It has been reported that three perpetrators armed with metal rods boarded a Singapore-flagged bulk carrier whilst underway in the eastbound lane of the Singapore Strait Traffic Separation Scheme. The crew sighted the perpetrators in the engine room and notified the bridge of the perpetrators’ presence. After the general alarm was activated, the perpetrators escaped via the starboard quarter of the ship. After the incident, the master reported crew and vessel safe, and that nothing had been stolen. The vessel did not require any assistance and continued its voyage to China. | |||||
