Six pirates in a speed boat approached and came alongside a bulk carrier underway. They hooked a ladder on the ships railing and attempted to board. Master raised the alarm, activated SSAS, increased speed, took evasive manoeuvres and non-essential crew members mustered in the citadel. Due to the hardening measures taken by the Master, the pirates aborted the attempted attack and moved away leaving their ladder hanging on the ships side.
