Tanker hijacked and cargo siphoned
The crew of the "Orkim Victory" was taken hostage after their vessel was hijacked by pirates eight nautical miles off the coast of Pu Aur. The tanker carrying petroleum was under way from Sungai Udang to Kuantan, Malaysia, when the 7,119 dwt vessel was boarded by armed men. The vessel was boarded in the South China Sea off Pulau Aur and had its oil cargo siphoned off. The attack was held east of Mersing, off Malaysia in the South China Sea. The armed group also damaged all communication equipment in Orkim Victory and stole the property of crew and ship. The ship safely arrived in Kuantan on June 4, 2015, at 7 p.m. There were 18 crew members on board at the time. The pirates fled to Pulau Matek in the Anambas Islands Region.
