has been attacked near Port Klang, Malaysia. Five robbers appeared at the bridge, held the crew while they siphoned about
2,500 metric tonnes of marine diesel oil and escaped. The company also reported the master, chief officer and chief engineer
(all Indonesians) were taken by the robbers, together with their personal belongings and travel documents. The rest of the
crew was left onboard without any injury. Investigations are ongoing.
