The crew aboard a United Kingdom-flagged Bulk Carrier underway in the Phillip Channel, Singapore Strait, observed one unarmed perpetrator in the Steering Gear compartment.

No items were reported stolen. All crew members are accounted for and safe. The vessel continued its transit to its next port of call in Singapore and has not requested assistance.

There have been at least thirteen similar incidents reported this year in this area, this being the second in 24 hours. At 05:12, five unauthorized perpetrators armed with knives were sighted on the poop deck of the Liberian-flagged Bulk Carrier THISSEAS (IMO: 9493896) underway in the location.
