Maritime Robbery
Maritime robbery refers to criminal acts committed at sea, where thieves target ships to steal cargo, valuables, or even the vessel itself. This type of crime can occur in various locations, often in busy shipping lanes or near ports, and can involve armed attackers boarding a ship to carry out their plans.
The rise of maritime robbery has raised concerns for shipping companies and crews, leading to increased security measures. Organizations like the International Maritime Organization work to combat these crimes by promoting safety protocols and sharing information about high-risk areas to protect maritime trade and ensure the safety of seafarers.
