Media reports from Papua New Guinea suggest that the country’s Navy intercepted a group of ‘pirates’ whilst on routine patrol.
The articles state that 8 crew on board an unnamed vessel, believed to be Chinese, were behaving suspiciously in PNG waters. The crew reportedly refused to allow PNG Navy on board, but ‘aggressive action’ was taken. EMTV reported that in 2017, the same vessel was allegedly intercepted in Milne Bay and cocaine was seized from it.
I entered the maritime security world in 2009, becoming Intelligence Officer for Neptune Maritime Security (now the NeptuneP2P Group). In 2012, became piracy editor for SomaliaReport.com and in 2013 became editor of MarsecReview.com and intelligence consultant for CSO Alliance, which I left in 2019. I currently work with another UK maritime security firm as a consultant and have an interest in a cyber security concern in the UK.
