两位船长的防抗海盗攻略

商船如何自救抗海盗？刚刚从亚丁湾归来的护航船长郭好乐和刘景升对此可谓满腹经纶。两位船长告诉本刊记者,因海域辽阔,所有商船完全依赖军舰护航并不现实,所以,只有船舶自身做好防范和抗击海盗的准备,才能更有效地保护船舶及自身安全。两位护航船长从长     

荷兰安保公司进军反海盗护航业务

据悉．荷兰安保公司Schutz ＆ Swart获得1艘翻新的瑞典119军舰，用来护航航行于索马里海域一带的商船船队，Schntz＆Swart由此步入目前迅速发展的私人半军事船舶护航之列。     

商船反海盗劫持对策:三道防线的设置

亚丁湾护航两年来,海军先后组织指挥了7批18艘舰艇、14架直升机、近500人次特战队员实施护航行动,截至2010年12月31日,海军护航兵力圆满完成280     

海盗的“感谢信”

16世纪中叶。一艘被海盗洗劫一空的商船,没有人迹,没有灯光,在加勒比海域随波逐流。船东赶到时,船上一片狼藉。     

亚丁湾、索马里海域海盗活动新特点与应对措施

当前,随着各国海军军舰加大对亚丁湾海域的护航力度,反海盗工作取得了明显的成效。但从统计情况看,2009年10月至11月,亚丁湾、索马里海域共发生58起海盗袭击商船事件,15起成功,得手率仍高达25.8%。深入研究分析目前亚丁湾、索马里海域海盗袭击事件的新变化、新特点以及应采取有效的应对措施,对于进一步做好后续护航行动、提高我海军护航效率具有十分重要的意义。     

索马里海盗的特点及反海盗措施研究

为了有效地反击日益猖獗的索马里武装海盗对民用商船的武力威胁,确保海上国际贸易的畅通和安全,世界各国,各个航运公司都在共同努力,包括派遣多国部队军舰在亚丁湾巡逻,加强船舶自身的防范措施,培训商船船员,研制对付武装海盗的非致命武器等。本文在分析了当前的索马里海盗的特点及商船所面临的困难后,提出了一些反击武装海盗的措施,这对中国的决策者及各个航运公司都有着重要的积极意义。     

索马里海盗之“打击困局”

被扼断的"海上生命线"2011年4月22日,索马里海盗在印度洋附近海域劫持一艘意大利货轮,船上载有船员21名。每年的这个时候,亚丁湾及附近海域总会传来商船被劫的不幸消息。     

索马里海盗现状及预防措施

索马里海盗杀人劫船,索要巨额赎金,严重威胁过往船舶的安全,船公司为此遭受巨大损失,打击和预防海盗已是当务之急。通过分析索马里海盗现状特点,提出具体预防、反击武装海盗措施以及过海盗区的一些注意事项。     

船舶防恐反恐安全风险管理思考与对策

尽管各国海军不断加大在亚丁湾、索马里海域打击海盗的力度，但海盗袭击事件仍频繁发生，商船被袭击和劫持的数量居高不下，海盗仍然很猖狂，防恐形势依然非常严峻。据介绍，针对各国海军军舰护航的局面，海盗近期也调整了袭击战略。一是袭击时间向全时域发展，只要有机可乘，白天一样发动袭击。二是袭击范围向中远海扩展。     

海盗动态预警系统的建立

商船在亚丁湾被劫事件屡屡发生,其中一个重要原因就是没有建立有效的海盗动态预警机制,或者海盗预警机制不完善,没有建立有效的应急处理程序。从实际出发,根据可疑目标与本船的距离,将动态预警机制进行量化,分黄色、橙色及红色3级预警,避免因船长的主观判断失误导致的救援延误及行动失误。     

海盗行为的定义

<正>海盗,意指专门在海上抢劫其他船只的犯罪者。自有船只航行以来就有海盗的存在,特别是航海发达的16世纪后,只要是商业发达的沿海地带都有海盗。此犯罪行业的特点是,海盗者多非单独的犯罪者,往往是以犯罪团体的形式打     

海盗活动对海上交通安全的危害及对策

从生命、财产、环境、通航安全等方面阐述海盗活动对航运业的危害,并针对我国防范海盗工作中存在的问题,提出健全和完善惩治海盗的立法、积极参与国际或区域合作、加强信息搜集与预警能力等建议。     

海盗审判问题之探讨

海盗罪作为严重违反国际法的罪行之一,国际社会以及各国对其均具有普遍管辖权,但是确定管辖权后的审判问题仍然是困扰着国际社会的一个难题。从司法的角度出发,通过分析比较目前存在的三种审判方式,提出建立海盗罪国际审判特别法庭的建议。     

船舶放海盗安全舱室的设置

据国际海事局ICC官方网站(www.icc-ics.org)最新数据显示,截至201 1年1月2日索马里海盗手中仍扣押着27艘船舶,625名人质.日益猖獗的海盗袭击与武装劫持,严重威胁着全球航运安全,对中国航运发展也产生了严重影响.     

海盗袭击与海员——海运行业共同努力阻止海盗行为

10月21日,"海员发展与教育培训研讨会"在青岛召开。部海事局、中国海员建设工会、中国船东协会、亚洲船东论坛及其海员委员会、部分亚洲国家海员工会、知名航运企业及亚洲知名航海院校的领导、专家齐聚一堂,交流中国航海教育和海员培训成果,共同谋划未来海员发展和教育培训的对策和措施。针对目前海运界非常关心的海盗问题,亚洲船东论坛秘书长苑田勇一先生作了"海盗袭击与海员"的主题演讲,号召海运行业共同努力,阻止海盗行为。本刊特将演讲内容翻译整理,以飨读者。     

弃船处置难题如何破解

<正>在金融危机肆虐、航运市场需求不振的情况下,2009年,中国造船业逆势而上,交出了一份漂亮的答卷,特别是民营船企的表现更是一枝独秀。然而,随着航运市场的持续低迷,造船业交船难、融资难、接单难的"三难"问题将进一步     

索马里海盗问题对中国的影响

<正>尽管已有多国在联合国授权下进入索马里海域打击海盗,但由于未从根本上改变索马里国内严峻的生存状况,所以仍有大批当地人从事海盗活动。索马里海盗问题也给我国的海上安全、船东及保险人等带来了诸多影     

The jurisdictional challenges to the prosecution of piracy cases in Kenya: mixed fortunes for a perfect model in the global war against piracy

Since 2008 Kenya has distinguished itself in the global war against piracy by undertaking prosecutions in the national courts of suspected pirates arrested in the high seas and handed over by navies of leading maritime nations under bilateral agreements (MOUs) entered into between Kenya and these leading maritime nations. As of July 2011, Kenya had over 20 convicted pirates serving jail terms ranging between 7 and 20 years and over 100 suspected pirates awaiting trial in national courts. This is the largest number of suspected pirates held and tried in any one state at any given time in modern history. To achieve this, Kenya had to effect far reaching changes in the law. In the initial stages, suspected pirates were charged under Kenya’s Penal Code (Cap 63 Laws of Kenya). However, the high court in the case of Re Mohamud Mohamed Dashi and eight others [2010] eKLR, ruled that Kenya had no jurisdiction to try suspected pirates under that law. In September 2009, Kenya passed a new law (the Merchant Shipping Act), which not only defined more comprehensively and extensively the offence of piracy, but also extended the jurisdiction of Kenyan courts to try piracy committed by non-nationals. Though the law gives Kenya a very broad jurisdiction to try suspected pirates, the process is still fraught with challenges due to lack of financial and human resources. In the case of Republic vs Hassan Jama Haleys Alias Hassan Jamal and five others [2010] eKLR, the court commented thus:

“… I must note that the ‘piracy trials’ have presented a unique challenge to the Kenyan legal system. We cannot ignore the fact that these are suspects who having been arrested by foreign naval forces on the High Seas are brought to Kenya for trial. They are strangers in the country, do not understand the legal system, may not know what their rights are and do not understand the language… the Kenyan Government and the International partners supporting these trials put in place a system to provide free legal representation for the suspects…”     

A study of maritime security and piracy

This paper studies the contributing factors of maritime piracy by analyzing previous incidents that have been reported to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Part of the analysis is to filter those ship types that are particularly vulnerable to piracy attacks. The paper also introduces the guidelines developed by the IMO and the industry envisaging to minimize the risk to ships that are exposed to attacks from pirates. It further describes the initiatives taken to develop a sustainable mechanism in the high-risk area (HRA)¹ to suppress piracy and other maritime crimes. This study reflects the fact that maritime security and piracy issues’ importance has been increasingly recognized in the 40 year history of Maritime Policy & Management.
