According to Chief Engineer Mike Perry, the crew sank the pirate speedboat shortly after the boarding by continuously swinging the rubber of the Maersk Alabama, thus suttling the smaller boat. As the pirates were boarding the ship, the crew members locked themselves in the engine room. The crew later overpowered one of the pirates.

According to a crew member, Philips and the pirates got into a man overboard, but it would not start, so the crew dropped a flifeboat and met the pirates to switch prisoners and boats.
