Armed robbery
The total number of incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia reported during January-June 2021 has decreased compared to the same period in 2020, due to the decrease of incidents in several locations in Asia. However, of concern is the continued occurrence of incidents in the Singapore Strait and the persisting threat of abduction of the crew by the ASG in the Sulu-Celebes Seas and waters off Eastern Sabah.
A total of 37 incidents of armed robbery against ships were reported in Asia during January-June 2021, accounting for a 35% decrease, compared to a total of 57 incidents reported during the same period in 2020
