According to the infographic, there were a total of 5 new incidents that happened since April. The majority of the incidents occurred in the Eastbound Lane of Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) within the Singapore Strait in hours of darkness.
Based on the incident reports, in most cases, perpetrators attempted to board vessel from the aft, avoided confrontation, and fled immediately upon being sighted by crew.
