Tanker boarded by three armed perpetrators
On April 21, 2025, the crew of the 'Aquaris' spotted three perpetratos on board, when the tanker was about 2.5 nautical miles off Pulau Cula in the eastbound lane of the of the Traffic Separation Scheme of the Singapore Strait in pos. 01° 4.93' E 103° 42.34' E. The intruders, armed with knives, were spotted while entering the engine control room. The crew was not injured, and nothing was reported stolen.
Tanker sailed in circles
Early on May 31, 202, the crew of the 'Willowy' faced a mysterious and dangerous incident,. Impossible to control, the ship circled in the waters off the coast of South Africa, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The problem was that four other nearby ships were going through the same inexplicable situation. At 1:00 a.m. the ship, which was carrying crude oil for a Singapore company, turned to starboard and began to spin in a circle. It had become impossible to control, said the crew, who found that four other nearby ships were trapped in a similar spiral, heading slightly towards each other and risking collision, for some unknown reasons. The senior officers on board were called and informed of the unexplained situation. The ships could not be maneuvered and were in danger of colliding at some point. It was first assumed that it was an effect related to strong sea currents, which pushed the vessels. But there were no such currents west of Cape Town. A hypothesis was that the incident was caused by the weakening of the magnetic field in the area. Modern ships, such as the 'Willowy', often use the gyrocompass, which finds the north by determining it by gravity and the Earth's axis of rotation, not using magnetic north. But if the gyrocompass does not work, problems such as these may occur. In fact it seemed that the ship's primary gyrocompass didn't work at the time of the incident. The ship was only able to resume its course when it used a secondary gyrocompass, along with the old magnetic compass.
