An Offshore Supply Vessel berthed in Georgetown Port, Guyana was boarded by four robbers. The robbers approached in a canoe, boarding from the riverside. Two of the robbers boarded the vessel while two remained in their craft.
The robbers were spotted by the duty crew, who raised the alarm, prompting the robbers to escape. Nothing was reported stolen, and the crew are all reported to be safe.
This is the first reported boarding incident in Georgetown Port since 2022. Similar incidents were recorded on 19 May 2022 and 9 August 2022, where groups of four to five robbers boarded vessels using the same modus operandi.
The repetition of this boarding method suggests that organized criminal groups may still be operating in Georgetown Port, potentially targeting berthed vessels with low security presence.
