September 2018 compared to seven incidents during the
same period in 2017.
Considering these results, along with the latest incident
of abduction of two fishermen from the fishing boat 'Sri
Dewi 1' on 11 September 18 off Eastern Sabah, ReCAAP
ISC suggests the following:
•Ships are strongly advised to enhance vigilance against
presence of suspicious boats;
•Enforcement agencies are requested to enhance patrol
and surveillance in areas of concern and make quick
response to all incidents;
•ReCAAP ISC maintains its advisory issued via its
Incident Alert on 21 Nov 16, advising all ships to re-route
from the area, where possible.
Finally, the increase in incidents on board ships at
ports and anchorages in Chittagong, Bangladesh and
off Samarinda in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, is also
concerning.
Of concern is also the increase in incidents on board
ships while underway in the Straits of Malacca and
Singapore (SOMS) during January-September 2018
compared to the same period in 2017. https://
