A Container Ship anchored at Manila Bay, Philippines, was reportedly the target of a robbery.

Five individuals boarded the vessel, pilfered ship's stores, and subsequently fled the scene. The ship's alarm was triggered and fire hoses were activated as a search was initiated.

The incident was reported to the local Vessel Traffic Management System. In response, the Philippines Coast Guard conducted an inspection of the vessel.

This is the first incident of this type reported in the vicinity of Manila this year. However, seven similar incidents were reported in the area in 2023; all aboard anchored or berthed vessels.
