There is a
of security issues at the coastal
regions of eastern Sabah (from Kudat to Tawau,
including Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, and
Semporna, including the offshore islands) due to the
risk of piracy / kidnapping. We would advice against
all visits and other non-essential travel to these
areas.
Please always refer to Subsea 7 Travel Agent and
Travel Coordinator in Kuala Lumpur for latest
updates on security-sensitive areas.
Refer to APME Travel HSS Guidelines (WI-APMEHSE-002) for details regarding risk controls and
approvals required including the NGS “Safety
Check-in” app.
