The Indian Coast Guard and Marine Police have checked vendors around the beaches and warned them not to buy items stolen from ships, resulting in a reduction in ship piracy cases in Indian waters. A top official of the local maritime agency gave this information on Friday.
The Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (RECAAP) Information Exchange Center said in its semi-annual report released on Friday that during the first half of this year (January-June 2023) Indian waters Only two incidents were reported in 2015, whereas last year there were three such incidents.
