The cover of the February 2025 Monthly Intelligence Report features a central headline, the Risk Intelligence logo at the top, and an image above depicting container vessels being loaded at a port.

This month’s issue of the Monthly Intelligence Report covers incidents that took place between January 1 - 31, 2025, in three focus regions:

  • West Africa

  • Western Indian Ocean (including the Persian Gulf)

  • South East Asia

Focus topic: Maritime security in a shifting world

Maritime security has become a critical concern for many governments and businesses. Security challenges and broader geopolitical issues, however, are not just downside risk. Companies which build an effective system to identify relevant aspects or triggers can often identify opportunities early or prepare for sudden challenges much better than competitors. In this month’s focus section, we’re looking at what aspects are important and why the timeframe is a vital part of any assessment.

In addition, the report provides a brief update on the maritime implications of the war in Ukraine.

This month's risk and threat assessment

In the report's assessment, the main incidents are put into a broader context to highlight current threat levels and potential changes for maritime operations. Moreover, the report includes forecasts that cover the main concerns in the coming weeks.
