This year's report marks the sixth year that Oceans Beyond Piracy has assessed the human and economic cost of maritime piracy. Over the years the report has evolved and our focus has expanded from piracy off the coast of Somalia to piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, and finally to piracy and robbery at sea in Southeast Asia. What has remained constant is our goal to explain and quantify the magnitude of these crimes and the profound impacts it has had on stakeholders from governments, industry, and most importantly, its victims.The full report is available online.
