Following our circular on the increased risk of Piracy in the waters of the coast Mozambique (see https://efmarinegroup.com/index.php/node/7572) on April 26th, 2021 the Joint War Committee has now listed
Cabo Delgado as a High-Risk Area.
The new area includes waters within 50 nautical miles of Tanzania and Mozambique between Mnazi Bay in the north and Baia do Lurio in the South.
The Joint War Committee’s full announcement JWLA026 can be found at: https://www.lmalloyds.com/lma/jointwar
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide with further updates would the situation develop into the feared scenario of piracy activity in that area.
General information and guidance on piracy can be found at:
