The Center for Maritime Information Cooperation and Awareness revealed that piracy acts around the world declined in 2023 to their lowest level since 2008, despite renewed tension in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
The Maritime Security Center counted a total of 295 acts of piracy and banditry last year, compared to 300 in 2022, the lowest level recorded since statistics began in 2008, according to the annual report issued by the center, known as MICA.
The report showed that the total number of piracy and robbery was stable, with an upward trend in Southeast Asia, offset by a slight decline in the Caribbean.
