Sažetak

New challenges and threats of an unconventional and non-traditional nature put into focus the problem of the so-called “non-military security threats”. The global maritime economy is exposed to various types of threats, and in the period from 2009 to 2011, a growing number of pirate attacks have been recorded. The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) reports indicate that the level of piracy rose all around the world. The center of these pirate activities is around the African coast. Ships exposed to pirate attacks are mainly conventional ships and some unconventional ships. The attacks are carried out by certain types of ships, and in defense of them, vessels use different passive and active measures.
This article analyzes data regarding pirate attacks in the areas of the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, including a thorough research analysis of the success rate of the attacks in terms of maneuverability of ships.
