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.

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.

However, shipping should remain vigilant, apply the BMP 5 and register with Maritime Security Centre Horn of Africa (MSCHOA)’s voluntary registration scheme (VRS), as the best way to ensure the security of navigation and
