Piracy Information
The Cruising Association, with the International Sailing Federation and the Royal Yachting Association, has a team in touch with MSCHOA (Maritime Security Centre Horn of Africa) concerning transits by yachts through the zones of high piracy risk in the NW Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden. MSCHOA co-ordinates the Navy providing a deterrent to pirates in the area.
A single sheet flyer summarising advice to yachtsmen and the full advice, occupying 7 pages, has been agreed by all the organisations concerned. The full details are available for downloading from the attachments below.
