Year: 2025 Language: English Author: NorthStandard Genre: Guide, Briefing Publisher: NorthStandard Edition: June 2025 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 9 Description: This briefing provides some background on both the organisations and their roles in combatting piracy in the region. Piracy off Somalia was a significant issue during the early 21st century during the second phase of the Somali civil war. 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. This briefing should be read in conjunction with the Loss Prevention Briefing, Maritime Security – General Recommendations which can be found here:
