Gangs of pirates targeting ships transiting the Singapore Strait continued their quest for plunder over the holiday period but were unable to make off with any loot from a Stena Bulk product tanker on Christmas Day.
The Singapore-based Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP) reports that six Indonesian pirates targeted Stena Bulk’s 49,600-dwt product tanker Stena Immortal (built 2016) just after midnight on 25 December.
