World Piracy Update on C-Map charts
- In Cooperation with Jeppesen

Be prepared to be blown away! Bergen Risk Solutions has, in cooperation with Jeppesen – A Boeing Company -  launched a piracy data overlay on existing C-Map navigation charts. It provides global coverage of piracy incidents with no need for a high speed internet link. The overlay can be combined with other C-Map solutions such as weather and wave information. Do not hesitate to download the presentation to find out more.

Nigeria Maritime Security

Ships and oil-rigs are vulnerable to attacks by criminals, politically motivated militants and community pressure groups. In order to assist mariners, oil workers and insurers in identifying and understanding the risks of sea piracy, we offer a quarterly Maritime Security Review and Briefing which include attacks all along Nigeria’s coastline, not just the Delta.

Gulf of Aden Piracy

The waters off Somalia are the most dangerous in the world after Somali pirates seized over 40 vessels in 2008. The chaos offshore is intricately linked to the chaos and lawlessness onshore. To properly understand the Gulf of Aden it is important to understand the situation in the surrounding nations, most notably Somalia.

The situation in the Gulf of Aden has three perspectives; that of the pirates, the international community and its presence in the Gulf, and the situation in Somalia. This report gives an excellent overview of all three perspectives. It includes maps which pinpoints attacks throughout 2008 and the first two months of 2009, a forecast regarding piracy, the situation on land and the international community’s involvement as well as practical prevention strategies for shipping companies travelling in the area.

Asian Piracy

In 2008 102 piracy incidents were reported across Asia. In 2009 there were 113. These events were largely concentrated in a number of hot spots across the region. The vast majority of attacks in Asia are cases of robbery, which stands in sharp contrast to the type of piracy currently being seen in the Gulf of Aden. Over the past 5 years, piracy has been successfully reduced in a number of areas, notably the Malacca Strait, Indonesian territorial waters and Chittagong Port in Bangladesh. On the other hand, piracy in the South China Sea has not been met with the same resolve and has been increasing. To learn more, please feel free to download our “Piracy in Asia” report.
