Container ship boarded by robbers
The "Maersk Newbury" was boarded by pirates while transiting under pilot at Guayaquil River in Ecuador on October 2, 2018. The master alerted the local authorities when he sighted the presence of unauthorized persons on board. One of the crew members was assaulted by the robbers and sustained a small cut on his forehead. The crew managed to escape and hide in the forecastle store. After the robbers realized that they had been discovered, they left the ship. The Ecuador Coast Guard (ECG) conducted a search, finding no perpetrators on board. The injured crew was given first-aid treatment, and the ship resumed its voyage. There were no injuries to the remaining crew members and no items were stolen.
