What happened?

An unknown individual boarded a vessel at anchor during night hours. The intruder most likely accessed the vessel from the forward mooring area using a small boat, and entered the accommodation through an unsecured access door. Personal belongings were stolen from crew cabins. CCTV records later captured one individual on the forecastle deck using a heaving line to descend from the vessel. No crew members were injured and there was no operational impact to the vessel.
