The IMB Piracy Reporting Centre remains committed to actively engage and exchange information with coastal states to promote safety for seafarers and trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2021, the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre received 132 incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships. Incidents comprise 115 vessels boarded, 11 attempted attacks, five vessels fired upon and one vessel hijacked.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h6 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Gulf of Guinea remains world\u2019s piracy hotspot<\/b><\/h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The increased presence of international naval vessels and cooperation with regional authorities has had a positive impact \u2013 including, commended, robust actions of the Royal Danish Navy in neutralising a suspected pirate action group in late November.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The overall reduction in reported incidents in 2021 is attributed to a decline of activity reported within the Gulf of Guinea region which has seen a decrease from 81 reported incidents in 2020 to 34 in 2021. However, while kidnappings at sea dropped 55% in 2021, the Gulf of Guinea continues to account for all kidnapping incidents globally, with 57 crew taken in seven separate incidents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8268 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2133\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2.png 2133w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2021_Annual_IMB_Report_2-2048x1024.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2133px) 100vw, 2133px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the regional decrease is welcomed the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre warns that the threat to seafarers persists and continues to urge crews and vessels plying these waters to be cautious as the perpetrators remain violent and risk to crews remains high.
