  1. At the 16th GC Meeting, the Council expressed appreciation for the Centre\u2019s continued commitment in protecting crew, vessels and cargo from piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia through its key missions of information sharing, capacity building as well as cooperative arrangements with the maritime community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Council reviewed the Centre\u2019s activities in 2021. The Council noted that the Centre had continued most of its activities by intensive use of virtual platforms. The Council appreciated that the Centre\u2019s core function of information sharing continued undisrupted through its Information Network (IFN) and other digital platforms. The Council also commended the Centre\u2019s efforts in the areas of capacity building activities for ReCAAP Focal Points as well as engagement with the shipping industry by virtual modality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The Council deliberated on the Centre\u2019s Workplan and the Budget for FY2022. The Council endorsed the Centre\u2019s planning to continue its activities by virtual platform, and consider the possibility of in-person or hybrid meetings pending the situation of COVID-19 in FY 2022. The Council approved the budget for FY2022 proposed by the Secretariat. The Council also deliberated on the three-year Workplan for FY2022-FY2024 as well as the Action Plan of Roadmap as medium-term and long-term plans to guide the activities of the Centre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The Council appreciated the Centre\u2019s efforts to update the \u201cRegional Guide to Combat Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia\u201d with the contribution of the Working Group members and expected that the updated Guide, Regional Guide version 2, will be a useful and practical guide for the shipping industry. The Regional Guide version 2 is available on the Centre\u2019s website (www.recaap.org).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Council recognised the importance of cooperation with all countries listed in Article 18(1) of the ReCAAP Agreement, in order to collectively address maritime challenges, and agreed to further promote operational cooperation with those who have yet to accede to the Agreement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The Council welcomed the first participation of the Governor from the Federal Republic of Germany in the GC Meeting since Germany \u2018s accession to the ReCAAPas the twenty-first Contracting Party on 1 August 2021. The Council was updated on the ongoing accession process of Greece and France. The Council expressed its support for the intention of both countries to join the ReCAAP and expected a smooth accession process for the two countries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. The Council noted the presentation made by the Secretariat on the situation of piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia in 2021. There were 82 incidents of armed robbery against ships reported in Asia in 2021, comprising 77 actual incidents and 5 attempted incidents. This represents a decrease of 15% compared to 2020. However, there was an increase of incidents in the Singapore Strait, mostly in the eastbound lane of the Traffic Separation Scheme, and the threat of abduction of crew in the Sulu-Celebes Seas remained high.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. The Council elected the Philippines as Chairperson and Bangladesh will remain as Vice Chairperson of the Governing Council for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
