The Somaliland region has established a navy to protect its waters from piracy. The Somaliland Navy has technology and military capabilities to eliminate the pirates and their bases inside the neighboring Puntland region of Somalia. The Berbera Marine College is a producer of naval officers, who follow International Maritime Bureau standards and regulations including those against piracy. Berbera Marine College became fully functional in the last five years, with more than 100 officers graduating from the college each year.[3] Somaliland's government established the college after the need for a Navy to combat illegal fishing and human trafficking arose in the region.
Today, neither human trafficking nor piracy persists within Somaliland's waters after the creation of the Somaliland Navy. Somaliland Naval Forces cooperate with their international counterparts, stationed in nearby Djibouti, in tackling the piracy issue. Somaliland has arrested pirates, many of whom later claimed to be former police officers from Puntland.[citation needed]
Before 1991, the navy was not operational. No status is available on current naval deployment. Prior to 1991, the national Somali government's navy consisted of:
Osa-II missile-armed fast attack craft (2)
Mol PFT torpedo-armed fast attack craft (4)
Polnocny class landing ship (3)
