On April 19, 2023, a maritime incident occurred as a vessel was beached at the bustling port of Chittagong. This event has drawn attention to the ongoing challenges faced in ship management and maintenance in key shipping areas.

In a somber incident on July 12, 2015, in Pengerang waters, three crew members from the Vietnamese ship 'Hiram' tragically lost their lives after being exposed to toxic gas. The situation escalated when the vessel issued a distress signal in the morning after all five crew members inhaled hazardous fumes. Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) swiftly responded to the emergency, transporting the deceased and the two injured crew members to the nearest hospital for urgent medical care. At the time of this regrettable event, the 'Hiram' was navigating from Bintulu, Sarawak, to India, with a scheduled stop in Pengerang for bunkering operations.
