IMB: Antallet af piratangreb stigende i 2020

Antallet af piratangreb og væbnede røverier på verdenshavene i årets første ni måneder ligger 10 pct. højere end i samme periode i fjor, rapporterer ICC Internationale Maritime Bureau (IMB). Specielt Vestafrika er hårdt ramt.

Der er foreløbig rapporteret om 132 angreb i år i forhold til 119 i samme periode i 2019. Næsten alle de rapporterede tilfælde drejer sig om skibe, der er blevet bordet, hvilket oftest har resulteret i enten kidnapning eller en gidselsituation, skriver IMB.

Stigningen i antallet af angreb var specielt højt i Guineabugten, hvor der er rapporteret om en stigning på 40 pct. i antallet af kidnapninger sammenlignet med samme periode i 2019.

Omkring 95 pct. af alle kidnapninger foregår i Guineabugten og IMB advarer på den baggrund om, at piratbander i området er “velorganiserede og går efter angreb på alle typer af skibe”.

Ud af de 85 søfolk, der foreløbig er blevet kidnappet i år, er 80 blevet taget i Guineabugten i 14 angreb.
