Six persons armed with guns boarded a bulk carrier underway. They took hostage the duty oiler by pointing a gun to his head and tied him up. Two of the persons guarded the oiler while the others stole engine spares. After the robbers escaped the oiler managed to release himself and alerted the bridge. Alarm raised and crew mustered. VTIS informed and a coastguard patrol boat followed and monitored the ship.
