The piracy and armed robbery (PAR) incidents in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore (SOMS) have shown fluctuations over the years.

The recent surge in maritime piracy incidents in the Strait of Malacca has raised significant concerns, particularly given the geopolitical tensions in the nearby South China Sea. This vital commercial passage, which carries around 40% of global maritime trade, has seen a 9% increase in piracy-related incidents from January to March 2023, totaling 25 reported cases.
