Best Management Practice for Maritime Security has been published and is attached herewith; it replaces all the regional Best Management Practices (BMP 5, BMP West Africa and Global Counter Piracy Guidance), which were previously published separately for each region. Maritime Industry Security Threat Overview (MISTO), intended to be used in conjunction with the guidance, has also been published and is attached herewith. MISTO is to be updated every three to six months, depending on the situation.

These publications can be found on our website under “Piracy” information page and can also be downloaded from the Maritime Global Security website.
