The MDAT-GoG created its Twitter account on February 10, 2021 to publish in real time warnings, advisories, notices and updates.

The exchange of information and the development of national and international cooperation between the actors of the maritime communities remains more than ever necessary to ensure the safety of navigation in the Gulf of Guinea, the epicenter of piracy.

To prevent attacks against merchant ships and better protect them from the risk of piracy, it is essential to relay any incident or proven threat as quickly as possible.

If instantaneity is the first advantage of Twitter, this major and essential social network also allows the MDAT-GoG to meet and exchange with the community of maritime security actors involved in the fight against piracy.
