Area of concern
The ReCAAP ISC advises ships to continue to exercise enhanced vigilance when anchoring or transiting areas of concern, including the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, and the littoral States to increase patrols and enforcement in these areas.
Re-Assessment and Downgrading of threat level
The efforts by the Philippine Government in Zamboanga, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi through the conduct of continuous military operations led to the dismantling of the support base and neutralising the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Sulu archipelago.

With downgrading of the threat on the ‘Abduction of Crew for ransom in the SuluCelebes seas by the PCG, ReCAAP ISC have updated its Advisory for ships to “exercise vigilance & adopt necessary preventive measures while transiting the area”.
