THE ReCP Information Sharing Centre has warned that emerging Asian export powerhouse bangladesh is suffering from increased piracy incidents.
The report notes that there have been nine piracy incidents in the first five months of the year, compared to just one in the same period in 2023, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
The report advised shipping when at anchor or at berth in Bangladesh to exercise enhanced vigilance, and to maintain communication over VHF channels with the port control and law enforcement agencies when entering Bangladesh waters.
Both the country's navy and its coast guard have increased patrols in recent months while the Chittagong Port Authority has established a visual tracking information management system to monitor the movement of small country boats in the port's anchorage and outer anchorage areas.
