Six ships sailing through the Singapore Strait were attacked by robbers over a five-day span in May.
The Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP) reported that the incidents took place between May 2 and May 7 in the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS), near the western part of the strait around the Phillip Channel.
All incidents happened in the early morning hours, between 2:45 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.
This sudden spree of six robberies has raised the total number of incidents reported in the Singapore Strait in 2025 to 50, more than triple the 14 incidents recorded during the same period in 2024.
ReCAAP, which marked its 20th anniversary this year, said it is worried about the sharp increase in incidents and warned that more attacks could happen if no action is taken.
