REPORTS ON ACTS OF PIRACY AND ARMED ROBBERY AGAINST SHIPS

Annual Report – 2012

1 In pursuance of the Maritime Safety Committee's instruction to the Secretariat to issue monthly reports of all incidents of piracy1 and armed robbery against ships2 reported to the Organization and, in addition, to issue composite reports accompanied by an analysis, on a regional basis, of the situation and an indication whether the frequency of incidents is increasing or decreasing and advising of any new feature or pattern of significance, the annex hereto provides, in the tabulated format agreed by the Committee, the summary of reports on incidents received between 1 January and 31 December 2012 including a distinction between acts of piracy and acts of armed robbery against ships and attempted attacks (annex 2). Further, and as instructed by the Committee (MSC 75/24, paragraph 18.41), the Secretariat has, since July 2002, started classifying separately any reported incidents of piracy and armed robbery at sea (international or territorial waters) vis-à-vis acts of armed robbery allegedly committed in port areas, as well as attempted acts of armed robbery.

1 "Piracy" is defined in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) (article 101)

as follows: "Piracy consists of any of the following acts: (a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by

the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed: (i) on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board

such ship or aircraft; (ii) against a ship, aircraft, persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State;

(b) any act of voluntary participation in the operation of a ship or of an aircraft with knowledge of facts making it a pirate ship or aircraft;

(c) any act inciting or of intentionally facilitating an act described in subparagraph (a) or (b)."

2 "Armed robbery against ships" is defined in the Code of Practice for the Investigation of the Crimes of

Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships (resolution A.1025(26), annex, paragraph 2.2), as follows: "Armed robbery against ships means any of the following acts: (a) any illegal act of violence or detention or any act of depredation, or threat thereof, other than an act

of piracy, committed for private ends and directed against a ship or against persons or property on board such a ship, within a State's internal waters, archipelagic waters and territorial sea;

(b) any act of inciting or of intentionally facilitating an act described above."

2 At its sixty-sixth session in June 1996, the Committee further instructed the Secretariat to prepare, after March of every year, an annual summary of all acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships, which had occurred during the previous year and had been reported to the Organization, based on their actual date and time of occurrence. 3 Pursuant to this request, the annexes hereto provide information on reports of piracy and armed robbery against ships received by the Secretariat since 1984, when relevant statistics started being compiled and, in particular, those which occurred in the course of 2012 as well as a regional analysis thereof. 4 At its eighty-fifth session in December 2008, the Committee also instructed the Secretariat, inter alia, to include in future issues of MSC.4 circulars additional and separate annexes listing incidents occurring in waters off the coast of Somalia. 5 The number of acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships, which were reported to the Organization to have occurred or to have been attempted in 2012, was 341, a decrease of 203 (37.32%) from a total of 544 reported incidents in 2011. 6 The majority of the reported incidents can be ascribed to Somali pirates (99 incidents), characterized mostly by piracy and armed robbery attacks in the Arabian Sea and East Africa, followed by incidents in South China Sea (90), West Africa (64), Indian Ocean (33), Malacca Strait (24), South America and the Caribbean* (21), Mediterranean Sea (6), Far East (2), North Atlantic Ocean (1) and Persian Gulf (1). 7 The number of Somalia-based piracy attacks dropped from 286 incidents in 2011 to 99 incidents in 2012. Despite this decline in piracy off the coast of Somalia, the pirates' success rate increased. Somali pirates attacked 286 ships and dhows in 2011 and hijacked 33 of them (success ratio: 11.54%) while in 2012, 13 of the 99 attacks launched by Somali pirates resulted in hijacking of ships and dhows (success rate: 13.13%). The majority of the hijacking incidents in 2012 involved small crafts such as dhows and fishing vessels. 8 Piracy and armed robbery attacks in South China Sea declined from 113 incidents in 2011 to 90 incidents in 2012. The number of attacks in West Africa increased from 61 incidents in 2011 to 64 in 2012, while those in the Indian Ocean decreased from 63 to 33 within the same period. The attacks in the Malacca Strait rose from 22 incidents in 2011 to 24 incidents in 2012**. The number of reported acts of piracy and armed robbery in South America and the Caribbean decreased from 29 incidents in 2011 to 21 attacks in 2012. From two incidents in 2011, the attacks in the Mediterranean Sea increased to six incidents in 2012. 9 In 2012, the majority of the attacks worldwide (44%) were reported to have occurred or have been attempted in port areas. The number of attacks in international waters remains high, with around 37 per cent of the total number of incidents reported during the same period. The rest of the incidents (19%) occurred in the territorial waters of coastal states. In many of the reports received, the crew members were violently attacked by groups of five to 10 people armed with knives or guns.

* As reported to MSC 76 (MSC 76/23, paragraph 16.2), the geographically large South American and

Caribbean region has been subdivided into three regions: South America (Atlantic), South America (Pacific) and the Caribbean. This change is reflected in all relevant reports issued as of 1 January 2003.

** Incidents occurring in the Strait of Singapore are included.

10 During the period under review, five crew members were killed (all in West Africa), compared with seven casualties in 2011. About 313 crew members were reportedly taken hostage/kidnapped, compared to 599 crew members taken hostage/kidnapped in 2011. Worldwide, 26 ships were reportedly hijacked, compared to 50 in 2011. No crew member was reported to be missing in 2012. 11 The total number of incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships, reported to the Organization to have occurred or to have been attempted from 1984 to the end of December 2012, has risen to 6,569. 12 With regard to acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships reported to the Organization, information on acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships reported to the Organization to have occurred or to have been attempted in 2012 has been circulated by means of monthly reports (MSC.4/Circ.181, MSC.4/Circ.182, MSC.4/Circ.183, MSC.4/Circ.184, MSC.4/Circ.185, MSC.4/Circ.186, MSC.4/Circ.187, MSC.4/Circ.188, MSC.4/Circ.189, MSC.4/Circ.190, MSC.4/Circ.191 and MSC.4/Circ.192). 13 The annexes to this document provide a breakdown of the information referred to above as follows:

.1 annex 1 provides a list of all acts reported to have occurred or to have been attempted in 2012 in chronological order of occurrence;

.2 annex 2 provides a regional analysis of acts reported to have been

allegedly committed or attempted during 2012; .3 annex 3 provides a graphical presentation by area, on an annual basis, of

the acts reported to have been allegedly committed or attempted during 2012;

.4 annex 4 provides a graphical presentation by area, on an annual basis, of

reports received between 1984 and 31 December 2012; and .5 annex 5 provides a list of all acts reported to have occurred or to have been

attempted in waters off the coast of Somalia in 2012 in chronological order of occurrence.
