Webinar : “Legal Framework on Embarked Armed Security at sea”

Increasing maritime threats have resulted in huge losses for the shipping companies and coastal States of the Gulf of Guinea, forcing them to find new methods to tackle maritime criminality. In order to answer to this problem, several private companies have started to provide maritime security services, which are custom made for the present modern maritime criminality and especially against piracy.

In the recent past, several countries across the world have introduced legislation and rules to help the shipping companies to place armed guards on board the vessels to safeguard the ships from these threats. The new rules allow the vessels to seek the help of private maritime security companies (PMSC) that are able to provide qualified security personals to keep the ship, crew and cargo safe.

In order to have a better understanding and to assess the national legal framework of Gulf of Guinea Countries on the use of embarked armed security at sea , the Inter-regional Coordination Centre (ICC) in partnership with United Nations Office On Drugs And Crime, Global Maritime Crime Programme (UNODC GMCP) organize a webinar on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 under the teme  “Legal Framework on Embarked Armed Security at sea”.
