While underway in the Singapore Strait, a Tanker experienced an armed robbery incident involving four perpetrators armed with knives who were sighted in the engine room.

The crew raised the alarm and conducted a search, but the perpetrators were not found. All crew members were accounted for, and no injuries were reported. However, some engine spare parts were stolen.

The Tanker, which had departed Malaysia and was en route to Indonesia, did not require further assistance. The incident was reported to the Singapore Vessel Traffic Information System (VTIS), and a safety broadcast on anti-piracy watch was initiated to alert all vessels to maintain vigilance in the area. The Republic of Singapore Navy's Maritime Security Task Force (MSTF) and Singapore Police Coast Guard (PCG) were notified, and information was shared with Indonesian authorities.
