From Oil Bunkering to Kidnapping for Ransom: an Exploration of Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea
From Oil Bunkering to Kidnapping for Ransom: An Exploration of Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea Researched by An Overview: Gulf of Guinea piracy in 2021 2020 saw the highest number of total pirate attacks for the last three years, with 195 incidents occurring globally. While these attacks include low- level cargo thefts and at-anchor robberies, the trend of kidnapping crews at gunpoint is on the rise. Last year, 22 separate incidents saw 135 crew members kidnapped. All but five of the kidnapping victims (95% in total) were taken from vessels traversing the Gulf of Guinea. The gulf has experienced nearly a 50% increase in kidnapping for ransom incidents between 2018 and 2019, and a further 10% increase between 2019 and 2020. The Gulf of Guinea is a crucial maritime trading route. The number of fishing vessels, tankers and cargo ships navigating its waters on a daily basis routinely exceeds 1,500. At the same time, the gulf covers 880,000 square miles and is bordered by over a dozen West African countries, creating opportunities for gaps in naval patrols and other difficulties in naval logistics, jurisdiction and communication. Together, these factors make this important stretch of water a magnet for piracy activities. Throughout 2020 and early 2021, those activities have increased in scale, severity and audacity. Many pirate groups have graduated from oil bunkering – the armed robbery and/or siphoning of oil cargoes (previously a staple money-making activity) – to fully seizing vessels and kidnapping their crew. Kidnapping and ransoming crews has become a more lucrative piracy strategy since the oil price crash of 2014, with average ransoms of $50,000 per crew member now a reality. -
