What is Operation Prosperity Guardian?

Operation Prosperity Guardian is an international cooperation undertaking in efforts to ensure a security threat-free maritime route against piracy, terrorism, and illegal trafficking. Launched against the increased security risks as dangers rise on critical global shipping routes, the operation ensures safe, unobstructed, and secure maritime transportations necessary for global trade. With the execution of naval assets, coordinated patrols, and the sharing of intelligence, the operation works to reduce dangers that could affect safety and improve maritime security.

Background of the Operation

The birth of Operation Prosperity Guardian traces back its origin to a need for an effective response as maritime threats began to grow and posed new and severe threats to critical shipping lanes. The pirates have long haunted the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, reaching a peak in the early 2000s, significantly disrupting international shipping and raising the cost of insurance. Besides, the regional disputes and the strategic significance of these waterways to global oil export called for a concerted international response. This operation was therefore on account of several international talks and conventions, which underlined the necessity of collective security measures to guarantee peace and prosperity for maritime trade.
