The Marine Assault Team (MAST) (Malay: Unit Gempur Marin, Jawi: اونيت ڬمڤور مارين), formally known as the UNGERIN is a maritime counter terrorism and tactical unit of the Royal Malaysia Police's Marine Operations Force. Having become fully operational in 2007, the UNGERIN conducts anti-piracy and counter-terrorism operations in the coastal waters surrounding Malaysia and assists the marine police to respond swiftly.[3]

Funded, equipped, and trained by the United States and Japan, the UNGERIN operates out of the RMP's Marine Police Main Base in Port Klang, Selangor.

For most operations, the unit is supported by various Malaysian special forces units, including Pasukan Gerakan Khas when crimes takes place in Malaysian waters.[4]
