    1. High Risk Area (HRA) with reference to Somalia based piracy is an industry defined
    area within the Voluntary Reporting Area (VRA) as mentioned in the Best Management
    Practices to deter Piracy and enhance maritime safety in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Indian
    Ocean and the Arabian Sea (BMP5) where it is considered that a higher risk of attack exists
    and additional security requirements may be necessary. The main purpose of highlighting the
    HRA is to ensure that the latest information on current threats is used when planning routes
    through this region and the HRA is outlined on maritime security chart Q6099.

    2. The coordinates of the High Risk Area in the Indian Ocean is being revised with
    effect from 01.05.2019 to the following coordinates:-

    In the Indian Ocean;


     a line linking: From the territorial waters off coast
    of east Africa at Latitude 05o 00’S to 050o 00’E

    3. The Round Table of international shipping and associations organizations i.e.
    BIMCO, International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO and the
    Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) on considering the account of recent
    shipping industry experience, pirate intent and capability as well as representations received
    from various organisations, declared the revision of the High Risk Area. The advisory issued
    in this regard is available at https://www.maritimeglobalsecurity.org/risksissues/piracy/. The
    website may be also monitored for guidance as well as external links relating to global
    maritime security. The revision of HRA will take effect from 01.05.2019.

    4. Even though the dimensions of HRA has reduced, it must be stated that the threat of
    piracy in the region has not gone away. Ongoing risk assessment and a high level of vigilance
    and compliance with BMP5 in conjunction with ‘Global Counter Piracy Guidance for
    Companies, Masters and Seafarers’ is essential before entry to, or when operating in, the
    HRA.

    5. All CSO’s and Masters of vessels are advised to take note of the information provided
    in this advisory.

    6. This is issued with the approval of the Director General of Shipping.
