The Hafnia-Precision: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a shocking late-night incident on May 17, 2020, the oil tanker 'STI Precision' was boarded by two armed robbers while it was anchored at coordinates 05 58 42S, 105 56 00E in the Anyer region. At approximately 01:30 a.m., two crew members conducting a routine patrol on the main and poop deck encountered a robber wielding a long knife on the port quarter. The intruder demanded that the crew members step back. Reacting swiftly, one of the crew members activated his Walkie Talkie to raise the alarm, allowing both men to escape unharmed. As they retreated, a second robber was spotted emerging from the steering gear compartment. This prompted the duty officer on the bridge to initiate the general alarm and broadcast a warning over the ship's public address system. The robbers, realizing they had been detected, made their exit by diving into the sea. Shortly afterward, a small boat with three individuals was reported to have departed the area. A searchlight was directed towards the escape route as a precaution. Following the incident, a mustering of the crew was carried out, and a thorough search of the vessel was conducted, revealing that valuable engine room spares were missing.
