A friend, explain to me today, that she knows someone with a sail, who is victim of piracy in Carribean sea. With Benjamin, we know that it´s something who could happen. But, we decided to look at more about this. We created a discussion in our forum, if you have any advice, or more information about that :)
There´s 3 websites to learn more about the safety roads :
- Safety and Security, Caribbean Safety and Security Net : ¨The Caribbean Safety and Security Net’s (CSSN) primary mission is the collection and dissemination of accurate information relating to crimes against yachts in the Caribbean, enabling cruisers to make intelligent decisions about how and where they cruise.¨
We like their quote: “Know Before You Go!”.
You could found a link to report incidents to the CSSN, the risk assessments infographics, interactive infographics about regional Piracy, and alerts about new incident reports and news items.
- Noon site : The Ultimate Cruisers Planning Tool :
¨Noonsite began in 2000 and has since grown extensively, in the main thanks to constant updates and cruising reports from sailors using the site and regular contributions from our regional editors.
Noonsite’s main objective is to provide cruising sailors with comprehensive information regarding the necessary formalities, paperwork and costs for clearing into all countries worldwide, plus essential marine facilities in all ports.
Our team is small, but all are enthusiastic about maintaining Noonsite as the most useful resource for the cruising community, as it has been for nearly two decades.
Noonsite was awarded the OCC Geoff Pack Memorial Trophy in February 2017.¨
- ICC : The ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) is a specialized division of the International Chamber Of Commerce (ICC). One of the IMB’s principal areas of expertise is in the suppression of piracy. Concerned at the alarming growth in the phenomenon, this led to the creation of the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre in 1992. The Centre is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It maintains a round-the-clock watch on the world’s shipping lanes, reporting pirate attacks to local law enforcement and issuing warnings about piracy hotspots to shipping.
- World Sailing : You could find few interesting link, that I share now with you.
