piracy attacks off coast of Somalia, including

the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea area

BMP recommendations will make significant

difference in preventing a ship becoming a

victim of piracy

BMP3 is 3rd update, signed and endorsed by

Some Implications..

Who is in command? Master, Team leader or SecurityCompany? (SOLAS, Article 34)

Risk of escalation Different views on the use of lethal force by Flag State,

Coastal State, Port State Who will condone or condem such actions? (States,

public opinion etc.) Justification of the use of lethal force. Was it really

necessary? Risk for Cargo and Crew Recommendations in BMPs (supported by main actors

within the Shipping Community)

together when passing through what EU

NAVFOR believe to be the most vulnerable phase

of the transit which allows naval forces to offer

protection for all transit vessels during this time.21

The High Risk Area:

The High Risk Area for piracy defines itself

by where the piracy attacks have taken place.

The purposes of the BMP, this is an area

bounded by Suez to the North,10 Degr. S and 78 Degr. N.

Naval Forces perspective:

Company crisis management procedures shouldinclude actions to be taken prior to vessel and crewrelease in the unfortunate event of a vessel beingpirated. The preparation of a released vessel, includingthe provision of fuel and other necessary supplies toenable the ship to go to its intended next port, is not atask for military vessels. Consideration should be givento these issues in the event of any vessels beingpirated. This will obviously not preclude warships from

providing assistance to any vessel in distress or in needof aid as mandated by the SOLAS convention, orhumanitarian support if positioned to do so.
