Acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships are often violent in nature and continue to pose a serious threat in a number of high-risk areas.
This course aims at bringing to the attention of ship operators, masters and crews the precautions to be taken to reduce the risks of piracy on the high seas and armed robbery against ships at anchor, off ports or when underway through a coastal State’s territorial waters. It outlines steps that should be taken to reduce the risk of such attacks, possible responses to them and the vital need to report attacks, both successful and unsuccessful, to the authorities of the relevant coastal State and to the ships’ own maritime Administration.
