A pesar de los informes sobre la disminución de la piratería mundial por segundo año consecutivo, la cantidad de incidentes de robo en el Estrecho de Singapur alcanzó un máximo de siete años en 2022 y los buques anclados en puertos sudamericanos continúan siendo atacados por perpetradores violentos.

Las cifras mundiales de piratería y robos a mano armada disminuyeron en 2022, según el Centro de informes de piratería de la Oficina Marítima Internacional ( IMB PRC). Su último informe anual muestra una caída del 13 % en los ataques generales en 2022 en comparación con 2021, una reducción que se atribuye principalmente a la disminución de la actividad pirata en las aguas del Golfo de Guinea. Una mirada más cercana

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim and EUNAVFOR Operation ATALANTA Commander (OpCdr), Vice Admiral Núñez Torrente, agreed that shipping needs to maintain a high level of awareness in the Western Indian Ocean and follow Best Management Practices (BMP) to deter piracy.

Despite reports of global piracy declining for the second year in a row, the number of robbery incidents in the Singapore Strait reached a seven-year high in 2022 and vessels anchored in South American ports continue to be attacked by violent perpetrators.

Global piracy and armed robbery numbers decreased in 2022, according to the International Maritime Bureau’s Piracy Reporting Centre (IMB PRC). Its latest annual report shows a 13% drop in overall attacks in 2022 compared to 2021, a reduction that is primarily attributed to the decrease in piratical activity in the waters of the Gulf of Guinea.
