3.18.3.4 PIRATES BOARDED UNNOTICED

When pirates have boarded the vessel unnoticed and the vessel is ordered to maintain radio silence, non-compliance can result in physical violence or even death. Any such order must, therefore, be strictly complied with, particularly as the pirates may carry radio/satellite detection equipment. After the attack, the Master should report the attack to the PRC.
