On March 10, 2014, the container ship Cape Veni was navigating southwest of Pulau Nipa, moving through the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) in an easterly direction when it encountered a dangerous situation. Four armed robbers, brandishing knives, boarded the vessel from a small boat. However, due to the quick action of the crew who promptly raised the general alarm, the intruders were startled and fled the scene without managing to steal any cargo.
