An attempted robbery was reported aboard a Marshall Islands-flagged Bulk Carrier while it was underway in the Philip Channel, Singapore Strait.

The duty crew observed four unarmed perpetrators in the engine room, prompting the robbers to flee without taking any items. The Master confirmed that all crew members were safe and accounted for, and the vessel continued its voyage to Singapore without requiring assistance.

This incident brings the total number of reported incidents in the region to at least 39 this year, with 26 of those exhibiting similar characteristics and occurring within the Singapore Strait area.
