On June 5, 2021, the duy oiler of the 'Cape Lily' spotted three perpetrators in the Singapore Strait in pos. 15.87’ N104° 13.72’ E Northwest of Tanjung Pergam, Bintan Island, while the ship was sailing in the Eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS). He remarked them in the engine room, and they were heading out to the poop deck. The 2nd Officer activated the ship’s alarms, turned on all the deck lights and conducted a thorough search of the ship. The three perpetrators were last spotted on the poop deck via CCTV, but they were nowhere to be found during the search by the ship’s crew. Ship spares were reported to be stolen. There was no damage to the ship, and the crew was not injured. The Port Operations Control Centre (POCC) issued a navigational safety advisory to warn ships in the vicinity to be more vigilant.
