Responding to a piracy incident
Friday 16 October, 2009
Having acted on a significant number of piracy related cases, Ince & Co is well-placed to provide comprehensive support to operators and owners who fall victim to a piracy attack and/or hijacking.
Consistent with our reputation in maritime crisis management, we advise on the practicalities and legal issues that may arise should such an incident occur to one of your vessels.
We approach piracy in four phases:
- Preparation
- Hijacking – the first 48 hours
- Hijacking – negotiation phase
- Release and post-hijacking
