| The IFC have reported that a robbery occurred onboard a Singapore-flagged LNG tanker while at anchor at Batangas Bay Anchorage, Luzon, Philippines (exact time not specified). While preparing to heave up anchor, crew members observed footprints leading from the forward hawse pipe. A search of the vessel was conducted, during which several items were found missing from the forecastle area, including fire hose couplings and scupper plugs. A subsequent review of CCTV footage confirmed that two perpetrators, both armed with knives, had boarded the vessel. All crew members were confirmed safe with no injuries reported. | |||||
