SINGAPORE: The number of armed robbery incidents aboard ships in the Singapore Strait rose in 2022, with the strait now accounting for 65 per cent of the total number of incidents in Asia.
Most of the incidents reported were cases of petty theft, involving perpetrators who escaped immediately upon sighted by crew, the centre's report read. The centre urged ship owners and masters to enhance vigilance, report all incidents timely and to exercise anti-piracy watch while transiting areas of concern and at ports and anchorages.
There were only 2 incidences where violence was used against the crew. In one incident, the perpetrators tied the duty motorman in the engine room, pushed him to the floor and threatened him. In the other, the second engineer was tied, blindfolded and pinned down to the floor.The annual report highlighted that the perpetrators involved in the incidents in the Singapore Strait are"opportunistic in nature and have no intention to harm the crew".
SSA executive director Michael Phoon also spoke at the forum, where he highlighted three elements to ensuring sustainable maritime safety and security in the Singapore Strait: Strong industry-government partnerships, accurate reporting and vigilance.
