The next logical step is to develop a global, threat-based concept which captures how ships of various type, size, nationality, ownership etc. face different risk levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whilst the trimming of the boundaries may signal a step in the right direction where Somali piracy is concerned, ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) is urging caution. \u201cAlthough the threat of Somali piracy has reduced substantially, we continue to encourage all vessels transiting these waters to remain vigilant and be aware of the evolving maritime security landscape.\u201d IMB says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Generally Somali pirates tend to be well armed with automatic weapons, RPGs and have been known to sometimes use skiffs launched from mother vessels, which may be hijacked fishing vessels or dhows.<\/p>\n<p>The new coordinates of the HRA are:\u00a0From position A (Latitude of 01 30\u2019S on the Somali coast), a line to<\/p>\n<p>Position B (01\u00b0 30\u2019 S \u2013 046\u00b0 00\u2019 E), a line to<\/p>\n<p>Position C (01\u00b0 00\u2019 N \u2013 049\u00b0 30\u2019 E), a line to<\/p>\n<p>Position D (09\u00b0 00\u2019 N \u2013 055\u00b0 00\u2019 E), a line to<\/p>\n<p>Position E (14\u00b0 20\u2019 N \u2013 057\u00b0 30\u2019 E), a line to<\/p>\n<p>Position F (the Yemen coast at longitude 053\u00b0 00\u2019 E), then<\/p>\n<p>Follow the Yemeni coast westwards and northwards, to<\/p>\n<p>Position G (the Yemeni Red Sea coast at latitude 15\u00b0 00\u2019 N), then a line to<\/p>\n<p>Position H (the Eritrea territorial sea border at latitude 15\u00b0 00\u2019 N), then<\/p>\n<p>Follow southwards first Eritrea\u2019s and then Djibouti\u2019s territorial sea borders, to<\/p>\n<p>Position I (the coastal border point between Djibouti and Somalia), then<\/p>\n<p>Follow the Somali coast eastwards and then southwards, to Position A.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/website_image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7384 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/website_image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/website_image.jpg 293w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/website_image-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipping organisations have agreed to reduce the boundaries of the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,1366,1378,442,1673],"tags":[544,1306,31,32,1485,209,410,2014,45,2015,1674,2013],"class_list":["post-7383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-djibouti-en","category-maritime-security","category-news","category-somalia","tag-djibouti","tag-indian-ocean-en","tag-maritimafrica","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-in-africa","tag-maritime-industry","tag-maritime-security","tag-oil-companies-international-marine-forum-ocimf","tag-shipping-en","tag-somali-coast","tag-somalia","tag-the-international-association-of-dry-cargo-shipowners-intercargo"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>IMB says vigilance still needed as Indian Ocean piracy High Risk Area reduced - Maritimafrica<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Shipping organisations have agreed to reduce the boundaries of the piracy High Risk Area (HRA) in the Indian Ocean, as incidents in the region, particularly in Somalia, continue to decrease.The changes will come into effect from 1st September.
