Part 3/9:
The patrol officers remain alert to the high likelihood of illegal activities due to the vast open sea. They respond swiftly to distress calls, as seen when a vessel calls for help after a suspected collision and potential kidnapping incident. Officers board the vessel amidst tense conditions, securing the area, checking onboard crew, and hunting for perpetrators—some armed with knives—who had allegedly armed themselves and taken hostages.
During the boarding, officers conduct a thorough sweep of the ship, checking for suspicious individuals and gathering intelligence from the crew. The vessel, a large carrier approximately the size of three football fields, presents numerous hiding spots for perpetrators, illustrating the challenge of complete containment within confined spaces.
