In a concerning development for maritime security, the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP) confirmed that three separate armed robbery incidents involving vessels took place in the Singapore Strait over the weekend of November 7-8, 2020. These occurrences unfolded within a tight timeframe of just six hours and in close proximity along the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS). Notably, there was no direct confrontation between the criminals and the crew members during any of the incidents. While two of the ships suffered losses, including ship equipment and a lifebuoy, one vessel remained untouched. The affected ships were identified as the 'Zeno', 'Lefkada', and 'Atlantic Diana'. This string of robberies underscores the ongoing threat faced by commercial shipping in this crucial maritime corridor.

A vessel has been successfully sold to Greek buyers for an estimated price of $15.7 million. This transaction marks a significant movement in the maritime industry, highlighting the ongoing investments made by Greek stakeholders in shipping assets.
