FiledMarch 14th, 2008Between December 2007 and January 2008, a total of 10 incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships were reported in Asia. Of these, nine were actual incidents and one was an attempted incident. Overall, there has been a decline in the number of incidents reported between December 2007 and January 2008 compared to December 2006 and January 2007. The decline in the number of reported incidents was a result of the decrease in the number of attempted incidents. The number of actual incidents reported during these two periods remains fairly consistent.
