On April 15, 2020, at approximately 5 p.m., the bulk carrier 'Palais' fell victim to a daring robbery while navigating the Singapore Strait at coordinates 001 14 42N, 104 02 18E. The incident unfolded when three masked assailants, armed with long knives, stealthily approached the vessel in an unlit boat. During routine rounds, the vigilant duty oiler discovered the intruders inside the engine room and promptly raised the alarm. In response, the ship's Master made an urgent public announcement, prompting the crew to quickly muster and initiate a thorough search of the ship. The perpetrators, realizing they had been detected and witnessing the crew's swift reaction, fled the scene with stolen engine spares and other valuable items. This incident emphasizes the ongoing security challenges faced by maritime vessels in busy shipping lanes.

In a recent transaction, Bunge has secured a charter agreement for a vessel set to embark from Singapore.

The charter is set at a daily rate of $12,000, showcasing Bunge's ongoing commitment to efficiency and strategic logistics in maritime shipping.
