Pirate networks are still intact The capability as such remains, even if the current level of activity is low. Dhows still give potential use for long range operations Constantly evolving tactics Capable of surprise In line with our newsletter February/March 2013 we in particular want to highlight the vulnerability when loitering and at anchorage.
Naval Forces: Continue patrols of the Joint AOO. Execute disruptions of PAGs, destroying gear and denying capability. Monitor and assess the threat to shipping. Provide guidance and direction to shipping. Merchant Industry: Continue to promote vessel compliance with BMP. Continue to promote complete implementation of SPMs. (Self-Prot-Measures) Continue to promote timely (immediate) reporting of incidents.
