The 'Dorthe Oldendorff' was boarded by four robbers while it was anchored at the Callao anchorage on Sep 30, 2019, at 7 a.m. The duty able seaman was taken hostage and his hands were tied. When the duty officer did not receive a response from the duty able seaman, he ordered other crew members to investigate. Upon arriving on the forecastle, the crew members saw the duty able seaman was tied and raised the alarm. On hearing the alarm and seeing the alerted crew, the robbers fled the vessel and escaped with stolen ship's properties. The incident was reported to the port authority and the local agent.
