Tuesday this week marked one year since the Galaxy Leader was attacked by Houthis in the Red Sea and the crew was taken hostage. Calling, once again, for the release of the crew, BIMCO Secretary General & CEO, David Loosley, issued the following statement:
During 2023 and 2024, there have been several attacks on shipping by Somali pirates. After a windy summer, the monsoon season is now coming to an end which increases the risk of renewed attacks by Somali pirates on merchant ships.
In recent months, Somali pirates have repeatedly attacked and hijacked a number of merchant vessels in international waters. These incidents serve as a grim reminder of the critical importance of BMP5 (Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy and Enhance Maritime Security in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Sea) in the shipping industry.
Industry Associations express their deep concern over the tragic loss of life and injuries suffered by the crew of MV True Confidence in an attack in the Red Sea on 6 March 2024.
