For as long as there have been vessels at sea, piracy has posed a threat to shipowners and their crews. Piracy hotspots and piracy methods have changed over the years, with the advice available to shipowners and masters needing to evolve in order to keep pace.

Industry-leading organisations, including the International Group of P&I Clubs, have pooled together to develop the Best Management Practice (BMP) guides, which are used extensively throughout the industry and feature advice on: conducting risk assessments, implementing ship protection measures, and reporting piracy incidents. The latest version of the BMP guidance can be found here.

The IMB Piracy Reporting Centre page is also a useful source for Members, and provides masters and their crews a live piracy map and report as well providing the contact details for:

24-hour Maritime Security Hotline
