A few maps to situate the action of offshore pirates
(B2)You can download here a map produced by the UN satellite agency (UNOSAT) which compiled on a satellite map provided by the European Space Agency the various data concerning pirate attacks from several sources, mainly from the Anti-Piracy Center (PRC ) from the International Maritime Bureau, as well as the International Maritime Organization, Garowe (the capital of Puntland), ONI, SMN. It is interesting because it makes it possible to geographically locate the extent of the area covered, the various pirate attacks, as well as the secure navigation corridors. Icons of different colors make it possible to distinguish the different facts: successful attacks, attempts, suspicious ships, captured pirates, liberated pirates, land bases... We can only see the audacity as well as the pirates' ability to adapt.
It should be noted that the forces present on the spot (American, Russian and European) have changed the secure corridor, moving it a little more from the Arab coast towards the open sea - which could make
a little more difficult pirate attacks (maybe...) and creating two corridors - east and west - instead of one. Here is the map of the new corridor (unpublished):
