Myny Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

In a noteworthy incident on April 19, 2019, at approximately 05:35 a.m., an audacious boarding attempt was made against the NYK Lyra in the Buenaventura Channel, Colombia. A small boat, carrying between eight to ten individuals, approached the vessel with intentions to board using a rigged pilot ladder positioned at coordinates 03:47.6 N 077:14.3 W. Fortunately, the vigilant duty lookout on the NYK Lyra spotted the approaching boat and immediately raised the alarm. In response, the crew quickly mustered near the pilot ladder, causing the boarding party to abort their mission and retreat. The ship's pilot promptly informed the Coastguard, resulting in the dispatch of a patrol boat to investigate the situation further. The NYK Lyra successfully docked in Balboa on April 20 at 7:50 p.m., securing its safety after the unsettling encounter.
