SAFE PASSAGE THROUGH THE HRA
INTRODUCTION
- The purpose of this presentation is to help to plan voyage and to
detect, avoid, deter, delay and report attacks.
- Regional instability has introduced other maritime security threats,
including:
- Deliberate targeting of ships by extremist groups.
- Collateral damage arising from regional conflict.
WHAT LED TO THE RISE
OF PIRACY IN SOMALIA?
Since the 1990s, piracy has risen in Somalia due to weak government, political
instability, lack of education and public healthcare measures which forced common
people, including unemployed youth and fishermen, to become a part of criminal
gangs and pirates to earn some money supporting their livelihoods.
HIGH RISK AREA
A High Risk Area (HRA) is an industry defined
area within the VRA where it is considered that
a higher risk of attack exists, and additional
security
requirements may be necessary. The HRA is
outlined on maritime security chart Q6099. It is
important the latest information on current
threats is used when planning routes through
the HRA. Ships should be prepared to deviate
from their planned route at short notice to
avoid threats highlighted by navigation
warnings or by military forces.
MARITIME SECURITY TRANSIT CORRIDOR
The Maritime Security Transit Corridor (MSTC) is
a military established corridor upon which naval
forces focus their presence and surveillance
efforts. The MSTC is shown on maritime security
chart Q6099 and consists of:



The Internationally Recommended Transit
Corridor (IRTC).
The BAM TSS and the TSS West of the
Hanish Islands.
A two-way route directly connecting the IRTC
and the BAM TSS.
THE THREAT
Piracy
Pirate Action Groups (PAG) boat configurations include:

Skiffs only.

Open whalers carrying significant quantities of fuel
and often towing one or more attack skiffs.

Motherships, which include merchant ships and
fishing vessels but, more commonly, dhows.

CONCLUSIONS
The risk reduction and control has to focus on all levels of the organization in the
risk reduction implementation, on a continuous and broad awareness when
monitoring of the different activities and on adapting countermeasures accordingly
during voyage.
This development would ideally involve several industry stakeholders on
company, legislative and political levels which also include the development of
specific and continuous education and training for the crew on ship security.
