Between 2005 and 2010, the area of reported attacks extended from the Gulf of Aden and Somali coast, out to the Arabian Sea and large portions of the Western Indian Ocean. Since then attacks have become less frequent due to military and governmental intervention. As such, in January 2023 the high risk area for the region was removed all together. Despite this, the risk of attack remains and vessel owners and masters should be cautious when transiting the area. This briefing provides some background on both the organisations and their roles in combatting piracy in the region. It also provides information on the tactics being employed by the pirates. This briefing will outline how owners and masters can participate in the regional initiatives and schemes to enhance vessel safety whilst operating in the region.
