2024年12月11日星期三，一名船员在新加坡海峡的一次暴力海盗袭击中被刺伤。据海事安全公司Ambrey称，两名海盗登上了一艘通过菲利普海峡向东航行的油轮。
袭击者手持刀具，在逃跑前多次刺伤一名船员。重伤的船员被带上岸并住院治疗。当局尚未证实这一事件。
虽然新加坡海峡的大多数海盗袭击都集中在从船只上窃取备件或设备上，但这起案件涉及对船员的暴力行为。
通常情况下，海盗手持刀具，一旦遇到就会迅速离开。然而，该地区日益加剧的暴力事件正成为一个令人担忧的问题。
ReCAAP是一个专注于打击亚洲海盗的组织，该组织报告称，2024年的海盗袭击事件数量不断增加。截至目前，已经发生了86起事件和10起抢劫未遂事件，而2023年全年发生了100起事件。
今年，这些事件中有17起涉及船员受到威胁、被扣为人质或受伤，比2023年的9起类似报告大幅增加。
在2024年12月3日至9日的一周内，亚洲报告了四起海盗事件。其中三起发生在新加坡海峡。分别发生在12月7日和12月9日，两起事件均涉及海盗登船，当时船只正行驶在分道通航制（TSS）的东行车道上。
尽管这些事件中没有人员受伤的报告，但这些袭击仍然令人严重关切。
另一起海盗事件发生在2024年12月3日，在印度尼西亚的Belawan港，海盗登上了停靠在码头上的一艘普通货船。袭击者捆绑了一名船员并偷走了发动机备件。
新加坡海峡仍然是海盗活动最危险的地区之一。自2024年1月以来，ReCAAP报告了新加坡海峡发生的57起事件和马六甲海峡发生的一起事件。
因此，ReCAAP已发出警告，要求船只在通过这些海峡时提高警惕。该组织还敦促沿海国家加强巡逻和执法，打击海盗行为。
与此同时，菲律宾政府一直在积极解决苏禄-西里伯斯海的海盗问题，通过开展军事行动摧毁了阿布沙耶夫集团的支持基地。
由于这些努力，菲律宾海岸警卫队将苏禄-西里伯斯海域“绑架船员勒索赎金”的威胁级别从“中等”降至“中低”。
这意味着绑架事件不太可能发生，但在发生袭击的情况下，预计损失仍然很小。
尽管如此，ReCAAP继续建议船员在苏禄-西里伯斯海域保持警惕，并向当地当局报告所有海盗事件。
我们鼓励船舶采取预防措施，并遵循ReCAAP提供的指导，以帮助减少本地区海盗活动的风险。

英文原文
A crew member was stabbed during a violent piracy attack in the Singapore Strait on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. According to Ambrey, a maritime security firm, two pirates boarded a tanker sailing eastbound through the Phillip Channel.
Armed with knives, the attackers repeatedly stabbed one of the crew members before fleeing. The critically injured crew member was taken ashore and hospitalised. Authorities have not yet confirmed the incident.
While most piracy attacks in the Singapore Strait are focused on stealing spare parts or equipment from vessels, this case involved violence against the crew.
Usually, pirates are armed with knives and leave quickly when confronted. However, the rising violence in the region is becoming a concern.
ReCAAP, an organisation focused on combating piracy in Asia, has reported a growing number of attacks in 2024. As of now, there have been 86 incidents and 10 attempted robberies, compared to 100 incidents in all of 2023.
This year, 17 of those incidents involved crews being threatened, held hostage, or injured which is a significant increase from the nine similar reports in 2023.
In the week from December 3 to 9, 2024, four piracy incidents were reported in Asia. Three of these occurred in the Singapore Strait. One incident took place on December 7 and another on December 9 both involving pirates boarding vessels while they were underway in the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS).
Although no injuries were reported in these incidents, the attacks are still a serious concern.
Another piracy incident occurred on December 3, 2024, in Belawan port, Indonesia, where pirates boarded a general cargo ship while it was docked. The attackers tied up a crew member and stole engine spare parts.
The Singapore Strait remains one of the most dangerous areas for piracy. Since January 2024, ReCAAP has reported 57 incidents in the Singapore Strait and one in the Malacca Strait.
As a result, ReCAAP has issued a warning for ships to exercise enhanced vigilance when transiting these straits. The organisation also urged littoral states to increase patrols and enforcement to combat piracy.
Alongside this, the Philippine government has been actively addressing piracy issues in the Sulu-Celebes Seas, by conducting military operations that have dismantled the Abu Sayyaf Group’s support base.
As a result of these efforts, the Philippine Coast Guard downgraded the threat level of “Abduction of crew for ransom” in the Sulu-Celebes Seas from “Moderate” to “Moderate Low.”
This means that incidents of abduction are unlikely, but minimal damages are still expected in case of an attack.
Despite this, ReCAAP continues to advise ship crews to exercise vigilance in the Sulu-Celebes Seas and report all piracy incidents to local authorities.
Ships are encouraged to adopt preventive measures and follow the guidance provided by ReCAAP to help reduce the risks of piracy in the region.
