What Crew Members Say About Golden-Arsenal

In a daring midnight raid on August 11, 2018, a group of 10 to 12 robbers approached the bulk carrier 'Stargate' while it was anchored approximately 2.75 nautical miles off Sagar Light, Sagar Island, India. The incident unfolded at around 02:25 a.m. in coordinates 21 41 25.2N, 88 01 09.0E. As the assailants executed their plan, two of them managed to board the vessel. However, their operation was thwarted when a vigilant patrol sentry observed the robbers transferring bundles of rope into their boat and promptly alerted the crew on board. Realizing their time was running out, the intruders fled the scene with their pilfered goods. The ship's Master swiftly notified the local agent and the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) about the security breach. Responding quickly, the ICG deployed a Coast Guard vessel to the area to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.
