PIRACY - Somalia 2010 Statistics (IMB) - 219 attempted incidents - 49 hijackings (21% of incidents) 2011 Statistics - 237 attempted incidents - 28 hijackings (11% of incidents) 2012 Statistics (Mar 19) - 36 attempted incidents - 7 hijackings (19% of incidents)
17
PIRACY INTERTANKO FOCUS Actions members can take to protect themselves Actions we want governments to take to protect our members
18
FOCUS AREAS - INDUSTRY Best Management Practices (BMP) Citadels Armed guards
19
BMP4 Three essential requirements that cannot be over emphasized: Register with MSCHOA Report to UKMTO Implement Self Protection Measures
20
BMP4 Released August 15, 2011 (BMP3 issued 6/2010) Updates in BMP4 include: - Revision to the boundaries of the High Risk Area - Clarification of reporting requirements for MSCHOA and UKMTO - New subsection on “Prosecution of Pirates – Assisting Law Enforcement Authorities”, produced with INTERPOL - Guidance on the assistance provided by INTERPOL. - New section on Armed Private Maritime Security Contractors
21
COMPLIANCE WITH BMP MSCHOA – currently issuing regular Monthly Compliance Report to Industry Report lists vessels which are not compliant with BMP by either: 1. not Registering with MSCHOA 2. not Reporting to UKMTO 3. having no visible self protection measures
22
COMPLIANCE WITH BMP Industry is responding by: Contacting Shipping Companies on list Emphasising need for compliance with BMP, in particular the 3 major elements in order to harden a vessel against attack Urging compliance even if armed guards are being carried Requesting feed-back as to why vessels are not complying Offering advice and support
23
CITADELS Since January 2010 there have been 27 recorded incidents of citadels being used by merchant crews under attack Reporting suggests that the citadel was decisive in foiling 23 of these attacks For 4, not all in citadel and/or no 2-way coms Pirates developing tactics to breach citadels Advise issued by the military regarding the use of CITADELS on MSCHOA web site
24
CITADELS Industry developed guidance on citadels Describes the construction and use of a Citadel in order to provide effective protection against determined intrusion Guidance does not recommend or endorse the use of a Citadel; aim to present the relevant facts to enable the Ship Owner/Operator to reach a reasoned conclusion as to whether or not to utilise a Citadel Guidance has been approved by NATO, EUNAFOR and CMF and is available on their web sites
25
ARMED GUARDS 50+ recorded incidents where onboard armed security teams were involved No recorded incidents of vessels with onboard armed security teams being pirated Military report use of armed guards rising If embarked, military request it is reported Military position – decision between shipowners and flag state
26
ARMED GUARDS INTERTANKO position regarding the use of armed guards INTERTANKO believes it is the responsibility of the international navies to ensure the right of free passage on the high seas including the use of vessel protection detachments on merchant ships INTERTANKO does not advocate the arming ships' crews INTERTANKO believes that the use of private armed guards or private security forces onboard merchant ships has to be a matter for each individual owner or manager to assess as part of their own voyage risk assessment
27
ARMED GUARDS IMO Maritime Safety Committee MSC.1/Circ.1405 – Interim Guidance to Shipowners, Ship Operators and Ship Masters on the use of Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel on Board Ships in the High Risk Area MSC.1/Circ.1406 – Interim Recommendations for Flag States regarding the use of Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel on Board Ships in the High Risk Area MSC.1/Circ.1408 – Interim Recommendations for Port and Coastal States regarding the use of Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel on Board Ships in the High Risk Area
28
FOCUS AREAS - GOVTS Increased "Government Will" to eradicate piracy off Somalia Cease the use of mother ships Increased prosecution of convicted pirates Increased naval assets in the region Increased public awareness to drive the desired increase in "Government Will“ Action to address the root cause of piracy ashore in Somalia
29
SOS CAMPAIGN SOS CAMPAIGN SaveOurSeafarers (SOS) campaign initiated by INTERTANKO. Joined by BIMCO, ICS, ITF and INTERCARGO Contracted with PR firm to increase public, business and government awareness Phase One – - Ad in Financial Times and World Street Journal - www.SaveOurSeafarers.com web sitewww.SaveOurSeafarers.com - Letters to UN SG, Heads of State and EU President - Interviews with press and news media - Press releases after incidents
32
SOS CAMPAIGN Phase Two – - Social media (Blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc) - Actively engage policy makers - Further ads, press releases and interviews - Seek high profile name to assist in cause Wider industry involvement, now includes support from 30 maritime associations/organizations Steering committee established to brainstorm ideas, prioritize work items and manage budget Phase Three - More focus on high level politicians
33
RECENT DEVELOPMENT Feb 23 – London Somalia Conference Hosted by UK PM David Cameron 40+ senior government leaders Focus on seven areas, including piracy Major Concern – Cameron statement “…creating an international task force to discourage the payment of ransoms to pirates and other groups to eliminate the profit motive…”
34
GREENHOUSE GAS Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) Amendments to the MARPOL Convention Enter into force Jan 1, 2013 for new ships Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) Applies to new and existing ships Ship-specific plan developed by the ship owner INTERTANKO guide on Tanker EEMP Market Based Measures (MBMs) Governments believe EEDI is not enough Nine proposals under consideration at IMO Fund, ETS, Efficiency incentive scheme
35
GREENHOUSE GAS Policy on implementation of IMO Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) requirements - 4 year waiver – Apply equally to all new ships - Method of compliance – Improved hull design, propulsion efficiency and energy optimisation, rather than predominantly on reduced speed designs Policy on Market Based Measures (MBM) – MBMs are not justified at this time
36
SUSTAINABILITY Deep concern that the current tanker market rates are consistently below ship owners’ operating costs. INTERTANKO’s Chairman, Capt Graham Westgarth “If these rate levels continue for a long period, this could lead to a situation where sustainability of the oil transportation industry is threatened.” “Our Members operate tankers to the highest standards and will continue to do so. Operating for a prolonged period in an environment where tanker owners are not even covering their operating costs is obviously not a situation that can be maintained.”
