Maritime Piracy


Maritime piracy is a huge problem that’s estimated to cost the global community $7 billion every year. Today's piracy hot spots include the High Risk Area (HRA) in the northern Indian Ocean, the Gulf of Guinea in western Africa, and various danger zones in Southeast Asia.

Piracy causes untold personal harm and suffering to those serving aboard attacked ships, while also threatening to paralyse large sections of the world economy.

The piracy problem is an immensely complex bundle of political, cultural, financial, legal, military, economic, social and commercial issues.
