Jakarta, March 7, 2009 (ANTARA) -
Previously holder of a dubious title as the number one piracy hot spot,
the Malacca Strait is currently being looked at as an example of a
success story on how to protect security in the world's busiest sea
lane.
Late last year, Efthimios Mitropoulos, secretary-general of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) expressed his optimism that his organization could take lessons from the reduced piracy and robbery in the Malacca Strait to the Gulf of Aden which lies between Somalia and Yemen and has witnessed increasing number of piracies in the recent year.
