Reporting period 14-20 November 2013
TheNATO Shipping Centre has issued itsWeekly Piracy Assessment for period 14-20 November 2013.
All mariners are advised that current conditions are favourable to piracy activity, and the presence of pirate attack groups at sea in the HRA cannot be ruled out. Thethreatof piracy against merchant shipping continues throughout the HRA. Successful disruptions by naval forces, in conjunction with masters’ adherence and implementation of BMP4, have significantly reduced the pirates’ ability to capture vessels. Pirates retain capability of conducting acts of piracy against vessels of opportunity.
