RECOMMENDATIONS IFC advises:
a. All mariners to report any incident timely to the nearest coastal state and IFC at the earliest possible time.
b. Ships moving at slow speed or are choosing to remain at anchor in areas where sea robbery/theft is regularly reported should
remain vigilant and adopt necessary and/or added security measures.
c. All mariners to take note on the description of the perpetrators and to take photos of the perpetrators if possible. Where available,
CCTV footage capturing the incident should be provided to the coastal state authorities for follow-on investigation.
d. Shippers and Seafarers operating in Sulu Sea and in vicinity of East Sabah Waters are strongly recommended to be vigilant and
to establish contact with both Malaysian and Philippines Authorities to report their presence. Please refer to IFC Spot
Commentaries 1/16 and 2/16 for the latest assessments of the situation in that affected area.
e. Shippers are advised to take note that the threat of terrorist activity in the maritime domain remains a possibility in the region due
to ISIS and the Al-Qaeda. The possibility of this threat was previously quoted in Al-Qaeda’s online magazine “Resurgence”,
which called for the disruption of global trade and shipping through acts of piracy, among other tactics. Shippers are therefore
advised to exercise vigilance and to adopt self-defensive measures as stated in the Regional Guide to Counter Piracy and Armed
Robbery Against Ships in Asia, especially when transiting narrow choke points and areas which are known to have experienced
incidents of sea robbery/piracy.
Note: Information herein was derived from various internal and external sources such as Focal Points, OPCENs and other
maritime stakeholders. Seafarers should remain vigilant especially in areas where the threat level is assessed to be of
concern in accordance with the IFC’s Assessments via its Weekly Report or Spot Commentaries. Ships should apply the
appropriate security measures (such as Tugs and Barge Guide, Guide for Tankers Operating in Asia, or Regional Guide to
Counter Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships in Asia, and if applicable, BMP4). Ship masters should also be aware
and refer to the Maritime Security Charts Q6112 and Q6113, both published by the UK Hydrographic Office.
The IFC seeks your observations in the course of your normal business. The IFC would like to remind mariners to be mindful of
national and international laws, company and other policy requirements and also health and safety obligations, whilst recording these
observations. The reporting of such events to IFC does not absolve you of your obligations towards coastal/ port/ flag authorities.
