The number of attacks off the Somali coast fell dramatically to just eight in the six-year period between 2016 and 2021. Piracy attacks in Somali waters peaked in 2011, when 160 attacks were recorded, and incidents had soared to 358 during the the five-year period between 2010 and 2015. This drop is widely regarded as a result of concerted efforts to reduce crimes at sea.
