Færre piratangreb, men flere kidnapninger

IMB registrerer i sin 1. kvartalsrapport 38 piratangreb verden over, hvilket er et markant fald i forhold til 47 i den samme periode sidste år. Guineabugten er fortsat verdens hotspot, der tegner sig for 43 pct. af alle tilfælde, men trods faldet i antal angreb, er antallet af kidnappede søfolk steget.

Det andet hotspot for piratangreb er Singapore Strædet og IMB - International Maritime Bureau - registrerer også en stigning i hændelser ved ankerpladsen ud for Callao i Peru, mens piratangreb andre steder i verden befinder sig på et lavt og stabilt niveau, hedder det.

Men trods faldet i antallet af rapporterede piratangreb i 1. kvartal steg antallet kidnappede søfolk til 40 i forhold til 22 i samme periode i 2020. Et besætningsmedlem er blevet dræbt af pirater i år.

IMB advarer specielt mod situationen i Guineabugten, hvor piraterne er i stand til at angribe langt fra kysten og ikke bange for at bruge vold mod besætningsmedlemmerne.

Danmark besluttede fornylig at sende en fregat afsted til området for at være med til at beskytte både de skibe - heraf mange danske - der sejler i verdens farligste farvand.
