The ReCAAP Contracting Parties advocate the International Maritime Organisation's MSC/Circ.623/Rev.3 (Guidance to shipowners and ship operators, shipmasters and crews on preventing and suppressing acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships).


Information Sharing through an Information Network

Sharing information on the incidence of piracy and armed robbery information can help improve operational cooperation when responding to incidents. The ReCAAP ISC facilitates exchange of information among the ReCAAP Focal Points through a secure web-based Information Network system (IFN). Through this network, the ReCAAP Focal Points are linked to each other as well as the ReCAAP ISC on a 24/7 basis, and are able to facilitate appropriate responses to incident.
