Gulf of Guinea – Increasing Security Concerns
There have been reports of two tankers being hijacked in the last 4 weeks in the Gulf of Guinea, as well as a number of other attacks and kidnappings.
Owing to this increase in piracy activity in the region, the Round Table of Shipping Associations and OCIMF are working with the International Coordination Centre (ICC) and navies to address security concerns.
Members are strongly advised to ensure that their vessels are suitably hardened prior to entry into the region, and that a full voyage risk assessment is conducted.
Members are also encouraged to ensure they take part in the regions voluntary reporting system operated by Maritime Domain Awareness for Trade – Gulf of Guinea (MDAT-GoG) as outlined on British Admiralty security chart Q6114. This will ensure that any delays in responding to an attack are minimised.
More information on general vessel precautions can be found in North’s loss prevention briefing.
Additional guidance on maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea can be found here.
