Effie-Maersk

While the 'British Century' was at anchor at Tabangao “Alpha” Anchorage Area on Nov 2, 2018, the deck watch spotted a perpetrator armed with knives at the ship’s forward. The OOW activated the general alarm and mustered the crew. The crew went to the forecastle area and discovered that the security padlock to the bosun’s store was broken, and items were reported missing. The OOW reported the incident to Shell Terminal and ship’s local agent through VHF radio. The agent only submitted the report of the incident to Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) after the ship left the anchorage. The crew was not injured. The security padlock to the bosun's store was broken. A ship's bell, eight scupper plugs, three fire hose nozzles, four hydrant caps and six fire hose couplings were stolen.
