Hijacking

Hijacking is the act of forcefully taking control of a ship by unauthorized personnel. It is a serious crime and a threat to maritime security. Hijacking can occur for various reasons, including piracy, terrorism, and smuggling. The hijackers may use weapons, threats, or violence to gain control of the ship and its crew. Once the hijackers have taken control, they may demand ransom, steal cargo, or use the ship for illegal activities. Hijacking can have serious consequences, including loss of life, damage to property, and disruption of trade. Maritime authorities have developed various measures to prevent and respond to hijacking incidents, including security protocols, training, and international cooperation.
