1. For all seafarers

1.1 CURRENT THREATS FOR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AND PATTERNS

Shipping has always, since the very beginning, been the target of:
Piracy:

Piracy always has been a real problem for shipping. Every year, pirates are still climbing on board vessels. In some cases, they «only» take cash money and valuables, but in some other cases, it is the entire vessel that is hijacked. Ransoms are demanded for the ship and the crew.

In 1992, the IMO and the IMB in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, opened an information centre (the Piracy Centre) which records attacks and gives advices to the shipowners on an eventual extra protection during the trip.

In 2019 piracy in the Gulf of Aden appears to be under control.
Nevertheless, sailing through the area still requires that shipowners take maximum security measures even the use armed guards and the support of international navy protection. This naval presence has largely prevented more attacks over the past years.

In West Africa, the Gulf of Guinea however became prime piracy hotspot… All vessels calling ports in the West African region between Ivory Coast and the Congo river are at risk to various levels of serious crime. Security issues very regularly involve stowaways and robberies and, mainly as far as the Nigerian coast is concerned, also the hijacking of vessels and kidnapping of crew.

Other areas where piracy still lingers on are the northern coastal parts of the Gulf of Bengal and the southern Philippines.

Robbery:

Robbery onboard is a recurrent phenomenon. Targets are nautical equipment (paint, cables, wires, spare parts, etc.). Sometimes, some port facilities are ‘famous’ for robbery in their installations (grass huts!).

In 2019 this risk is greatest in the following areas:

Caribbean:
- Mexico, Venezuela
South America:
- Peru, Brazil
West Africa:
- Gulf of Guinea (from Liberia to Angola)
East Africa:
- Northern Mozambique, Kenya
South East Asia:
- Malaysia (all areas),
- Singapore (anchoring areas),
- Indonesia (Sumatra’s east coast, eastern and western Kalimantan)
- the southern Philippines
