Maritime Terrorism

Maritime terrorism involves deliberate acts of violence or sabotage targeting ships, ports, or maritime infrastructure to cause fear, disrupt trade, or achieve political objectives. Perpetrators may hijack vessels, plant explosives, or attack dock facilities, risking lives, economic stability, and international security. Such acts can hinder global shipping routes, lead to environmental hazards, and threaten maritime safety. Addressing maritime terrorism requires coordinated international efforts, maritime security measures, and intelligence sharing to prevent attacks and protect vital maritime interests.
