IMO's Piracy Monthly Report - July 2022

The International Maritime Organization's monthly piracy and maritime armed robbery report.

IMO REPORTING

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the United Nations agency responsible for the safety and security of shipping.

The IMO produces monthly and annual reports of actual and attempted attacks by pirates and armed robbers against ships. Reporting is based on data and information submitted by IMO Member Governments as well as appropriate regional and international organizations.

OF NOTE: Piracy and maritime armed robbery incidents are classified separately in the report. Piracy acts occur in international waters, while maritime armed robberies occur within territorial waters.

The reporting is divided as follows:

  • Ship Name, type of ship, flag, gross tonnage, IMO number
  • Date and time
  • Position of incident
  • Consequences for crew, ship, and cargo
  • Action taken by the master and crew
  • Was the incident reported to the coastal authority? Which one?
  • Reporting State or international organization
  • Coastal State Action Taken

LINK OF REPORT
