Security At Sea - Terrorism Piracy and Drugs A Practical Guide
Year: 1991 Language: english Author: Brigadier (Retd.) B.A.H. Parritt CBE Genre: Guide Publisher: The Nautical Institute ISBN: 1-870077-091 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 105 Description: MERCHANT SHIPPING provides an invaluable service to society transporting goods and commodities across the world. However, the marine environment can be inhospitable, subjecting mariners to storms, fog, ice and heat. The commercial climate is also highly competitive and there are strong pressures to cut costs in order to survive. It is difficult enough to operate ships today without further distractions, but insidiously a new threat has to be recognised and dealt with. Perhaps it is no accident that reported incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships have been growing whilst the industry struggles to become profitable. No location is absolutely free from this threat, and merchant ships carrying out their lawful business often with a minimum of crew on board are targets for those who seek to achieve their ends through the illicit practice of terrorism, piracy or drugs contraband. The multi-national facilities for registering, financing and manning ships diffuses governmental involvement, whilst the freedom of the high seas makes it legally difficult to mount international maritime security and surveillance. Self-help is, of course, the most obvious response to a perceived threat, but how should this be organised? During the first world war there was considerable debate about the desirability or otherwise of convoying ships under escort. However, statistics soon showed the value of the system and that ships could be better protected and more effective use could be made of escorts using the convoy system. When an attack did get through there was also a better chance of detecting and sinking enemy submarines. So with security, there are ways of assessing threat and using the ship's resources to best advantage. The great value of this practical book is that it demonstrates what can be done. It is therefore invaluable to ship managers and seamen whose lives, heaven forbid, may depend on the good advice it gives.
