Persons wearing dark clothes in four speedboats with open tops about 6-8 mtrs long, approached a tug underway. Bosun raised alarm and crew mustered. One boat came very close to stern and persons inside attempted to board. Crew activated fire hoses and boats moved back and later moved away. One lesson is that an alert crew makes a difference.
