West Africa dominates piracy in 2020 – Report

By Godwin Oritse with agency report
AT the backdrop of efforts of the Nigerian government in collaboration with governments of countries in the West Africa sub-region to stem piracy on the Gulf of Guinea, GoG, the Cyprus Shipping Chamber, CSC, has indicated that the region still remains the world’s hotbed of the maritime crime.
In its latest position released, yesterday, the CSC, a leading global shipping authority, said about 95 percent of global incidences in 2020 occurred within the GoG. This assessment is, however, coming ahead of the International Maritime Bureau, IMB, report on piracy sponsored by the world’s number one maritime authority, the International Maritime Organisation, IMO.
Cyprus Shipping Chamber says ‘enough is enough’ with piracy in Gulf of Guinea
The Cyprus Shipping Chamber (CSC) expressed regret and frustration over the ineffectiveness of the international community to address the continuing piracy crisis in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG).
Back in June 2020 the CSC said it raised grave concerns about the worsening piracy situation in the GoG and invited action by governments.
“Unfortunately, the CSC is sad to observe that we have now reached the end of 2020 and despite the efforts being made by the industry, the situation remains gravely dangerous for ships trading in the GoG,” the chamber said in a statement.
