The A recent global quarterly piracy report compiled by the Piracy Reporting Centre (PRC) of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)'s International Maritime Bureau (IMB) details 90 incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships in the first nine months of 2022, the lowest recorded figure in three decades.
Perpetrators were successful in gaining access to the vessels in 95% of the reported incidents which are broken down as 85 vessels boarded, four attempted attacks and one vessel hijacked. In many of the cases, vessels were either at anchor or steaming when boarded, with nearly all the incidents occurring during the hours of darkness.
