A major decline in robbery incidents was reported in Bangladesh where no incident was reported during January-September 202,1 compared to three incidents during the same period last year.

India, Indonesia, and Malaysia recorded a decrease in ship robberies by about half compared to the same period in 2020. India decreased from 8 cases to 4 cases, Indonesia decreased from 19 cases to 10 cases. Malaysia had only one robbery this year, compared with two in the same period last year.

There are still some high-risk areas

There are still some areas of concern such as the Singapore Strait, the Manila anchorage area in the Philippines and the Sulu-Celebes Sea.

In the Singapore Strait, armed robbery against ships continued to occur. The ReCAAP added that a total of 26 incidents were reported during the period under review compared to 22 incidents during the same period in the previous year.

In Manila Anchorage Areas, a total of nine incidents were reported at South Harbour Anchorage Area during January-August 2021, including violence against the crew. On 27 and 29 Sep, the Philippine law enforcement agencies arrested the leader and one member of a criminal group responsible for the incidents at Manila Anchorage Areas.

The threat of abduction of crew in the Sulu-Celebes Seas and waters off Eastern Sabah continues to remain high. Ships transiting the area are advised to follow the ReCAAP ISC’s ‘Guidance on Abduction of Crew in the Sulu-Celebes Seas and Waters off Eastern Sabah’, and maintain communications with the Operation Centres of the Philippines and Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM).
