Dear Customers

IMB issued summary of  pirates activities  in 2021 Jan.- Dec.

https://www.icc-ccs.org/index.php/1314-caution-urged-despite-lowest-reported-maritime-piracy-incidents-since-1994

You can find their articles from above links,  we introduce some important topics.

• For 2021, pirates incident has been recorded 132 (195 reported in 2020), which was lowest number since 1994.
• The overall reduction in reported incidents in 2021 is attributed to a decline of activity reported within the Gulf of Guinea region which has seen a decrease from 81 reported incidents in 2020 to 34 in 2021.
• However, while kidnappings at sea dropped 55% in 2021, the Gulf of Guinea continues to account for all kidnapping incidents globally, with 57 crew taken in seven separate incidents. 
• Piracy incident reported in 2021 at Singapore Strait and Callao anchorage(Peru) increased.  The reported activity was mostly robbery, but there were cases that crew got injured.
• While the direct threat of attacks from Somali based pirates appears to have decreased – along with a further revision and reduction of the High Risk Area in September – the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre continues to encourage vigilance among shipmasters, particularly when transiting close to the Somali coast.
