A veteran Shell LNG carrier has been targeted by robbers while anchored at the Bauan Anchorage, Batangas in the Philippines.

The 75,000-cbm Bebatik (built 1972), in service on the Brunei LNG project, was boarded by at least one intruder late in the evening early last week.

Details of the incident were disclosed in the latest anti-piracy report published by the Singapore-based Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP) Information Sharing Centre.
