The resurgence of maritime piracy and armed robbery in the GoG region is a concerning issue that has attracted attention from various organisations and governments, including the International Maritime Bureau (IMB). The ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) record shows an increase to 65 incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships in the first half of 2023, as against 58 incidents for the same period in 2022.
Piracy and armed robbery in the GoG region typically involve criminal groups attacking ships, often for the purpose of hijacking the vessels, stealing valuable cargo, and taking crew members hostage for ransom. These incidents can have serious consequences for maritime trade, regional security, and the well-being of seafarers.
