Operation Mare Liberum

Naval Task Force Holding Somali Piracy Operation as a Reminder to Shipping Not to Let Its Guard Down

A multi-national naval task force tasked with combating piracy in the Somali basin is getting ready to conduct a five-day operation aimed at increasing naval presence and informing the maritime community on the continuing risks to shipping despite a lull in Somali piracy and expiration of a key industry designation.

The focused operation, known as Mare Liberum, comes as the shipping industry has removed its “High Risk Area” (HRA) designation for the western Indian Ocean, Gulf of Aden, and southern Red Sea as of January 1, 2023.

The operation is being hosted by the Combined Task Force 151 (CTF 151), which is currently under Brazilian leadership. The task force was established in 2009 with a specific piracy mission-based mandate in accordance with UN Security Council Resolutions. Working alongside European Union Naval Force Somalia (EU NAVFOR) and other partners, CTF 151 helps to patrol the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor (IRTC) through the Gulf of Aden.
