Four persons in a motorboat, armed with guns and knives boarded an anchored bulk carrier. They took the bosun as hostage and entered the bridge. The duty officer managed to escape and raised the alarm on the PA system. The persons took the bosun to the Master's cabin and forced their way in. The robbers stole ship's and Master's cash and other personal effects and forced the Master to accompany them to the forecastle from where they escaped. SSAS activated and port control notified who later boarded the ship for investigations.
