Counter-Piracy Operations

Counter-piracy operations refer to coordinated efforts by governments and international organizations to combat piracy at sea. These operations involve naval patrols, intelligence sharing, and collaboration among nations to protect shipping routes, ensure maritime security, and deter acts of piracy. Such efforts are crucial for safeguarding trade, ensuring the safety of crews, and maintaining established laws of the sea. Typically, these operations focus on high-risk areas, such as the waters off the coast of Somalia, where piracy has historically been prevalent.
