RECOMMENDATIONS IFC Advises:

1. All mariners to report any incidents in a timely manner to the nearest coastal state and the IFC at the earliest possible time.

2. Ships moving at slow speeds or 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.

3. All mariners to take note of a 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.

4. 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 Commentary 1/18 for the latest

assessment of the situation in that affected area.

5. 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 has been 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 the Tugs and Barge Guide, Guide for Tankers Operating in Asia and the Regional Guide to Counter Piracy and

Armed Robbery Against Ships in Asia). Ship masters should also be aware of 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.
