Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Savvy

On 9 May 12 at or about 0208 hrs tanker Savvy was underway at approximately 30 nm northeast of Horsburgh Lighthouse (1 38.0 N, 104 50.0 E), when approximately eight to ten pirates approached and boarded the vessel from two high speed boats. Armed with guns and chopping knives, the pirates boarded the vessel using a portable ladder on the poop deck. Upon spotting the pirates onboard, the master raised the alarm, carried out evasive manoeuvres and sealed all access from inside leading to the accommodation blocks/ engine room. As the pirates failed to gain access to the accommodation block and the engine room, the pirates escaped in their speed boats at or about 0230 hrs. The incident was reported to the Singapore’s Port Operations Control Centre (POCC), which is also the ReCAAP Focal Point (Singapore).
