Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) plans to enter the fight against piracy in Asia with a new information sharing agreement.
OCIMF, which administers the most widely used database for vetting tankers, says the agreement is with the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP).
ReCAAP is an inter-government group that runs an information sharing centre about incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia.
