2059 – Attempted Piracy in Trinidad and Tobago – Trinidad – Hibiscus Gas Platform

Reported Incident Details from Trinidad and Tobago

An incident of Attempted Piracy has been reported in Trinidad and Tobago – Trinidad – Hibiscus Gas Platform.

Incident Date 2016-06-25 at 11:59
Event Type Attempted Piracy
Stolen Items None
Secured N/A
Source Type 2nd Hand Report
Incident Details In the absence of a firsthand report CSSN has compiled information from multiple credible second hand sources, who spoke directly with the involved captain in Trinidad. A 65 ft. sailing yacht with 3 persons on-board on passage to Trinidad encountered what were felt to be probable "pirates" during daylight hours. The yacht's position was 2-5 miles east of the Hibiscus platform, and its sails would likely have been visible for 10-12 miles. A pirogue with 5-6 Spanish speaking men made multiple rapid approaches to the yacht, and began yelling (about fuel). One of the men in the pirogue appeared to have a holstered gun at his waist. The yacht captain began multiple evasive maneuvers and had crew "pose" as though they themselves were armed while visibly appearing to make VHF radio contact with TT Coast Guard, North Post radio and the Hibiscus platform itself. The emergency VHF radio calls were not answered. After about 15 minutes the pirogue gave up chase and departed to the west. The yacht continued onto Trinidad. No float plan had been filed with TTCG; it is unclear if any official reports have been made. CSSN will update this report if additional information becomes available.

2036 – Theft in Grenada – Carriacou – Tyrrel Bay

Reported Incident Details from Grenada

An incident of Theft has been reported in Grenada – Carriacou – Tyrrel Bay.

Incident Date 2016-06-11 at 03:00
Event Type Theft
Stolen Items AB 9'6
Secured Not Locked
Source Type 1st Hand Report
Incident Details A dinghy/outboard hoisted on the port side was stolen overnight from an occupied yacht. It was not locked to the yacht. The theft was reported to the police, the boatyard and later on the VHF net, two other dinghies were also stolen the same night. Details for those thefts are not currently available. CSSN NOTES: Securely locking (visibly) a hoisted dinghy can make the difference. Additionally, using cable (vs. rope) for the harness to a height sufficient to make it out of “machete reach” can further reduce the chance of theft. Making timely first hand reports helps other cruisers, it’s easy with the CSSN online reporting form! https://www.safetyandsecuritynet.com/?p=665
