Piracy in 2009: what can we learn and can we expect 2010 to be any different?
The IMB’s report on the piracy incidents of 2009 reveals, in hard figures, the significant level of activity off Somalia over the past 12 months. There were some 214 attacks reported to the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre in 2009 of which 47 resulted in a hijacking. This is a sobering reminder of the human cost of piracy: 867 ordinary crew members were held hostage by pirates during that period.
Ince & Co partner Stephen Askins looks at the key themes from 2009 and considers the development of the piracy phenomenon, the global response and the successes the industry has achieved in responding to acts of piracy and highjackings.
