PIRACY 'A LUCRATIVE CRIME'
=============================
LAST FEW YEARS, SOMALI, AND OTHER DANGEROUS AREAS, PIRATES ARE MAKING RANSOM
DEMANDS OF UP TO USD10MILLION, THREATENING THE CREW AND WARNING THE SHIPOWNERS
THAT THEY WILL GROUND THE SHIP IF THEIR DEMANDS ARE NOT MET!
THE SAFETY OF THE CREW AND THE RELEASE OF THE VESSEL IS OF OUTMOST CONCERN.
FOR MANY SHIPPING COMPANIES OPERATING IN THE GULF OF ADEN (AS WELL AS 3 OR 4
OTHER REGIONS AROUND THE GLOBE)
A MARINE KIDNAP AND RANSOM INSURANCE POLICY OR MARITIME KNR POLICY
IS NOW AN ESSENTIAL PART OF DOING BUSINESS IN THE REGION.
AS REPORTED BY RISK AND INSURANCE MAGAZINE, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TAKEN HOSTAGE
AT SEA AND NUMBER OF OCEAN VESSELS SEIZED BY KIDNAPPERS AND PIRATES IN 2010 ROSE
TO ALL TIME HIGHS.
MARITIME PIRACY IS AT RECORD LEVELS!
PIRATES (SOMALI AND OTHER) CAPTURED OVER 1,100 SEAFARERS (ONE THOUSAND AND ONE
HUNDRED) IN 2010
AND OVER 50 SHIPS WERE HIJACKED. IN 2010 THERE WERE ALMOST 400 SOMALI PIRATE
ATTACKS AND MORE.
CARGO SHIPS CAN SEEK MARITIME RANSOM INSURANCE, WITH THE MEDIATION OF MARASCO
MARINE FOR
APPROXIMATE PREMIUM OF $17,000 US PER SHIPMENT WITH A BENEFIT OF ABOUT
$5,000,000

ALTOGETHER THE USD 25000-USD 27,000 FOR SUPRAS
AND USD 21,000-USD 23,000 FOR HANDYMAX VESSELS.
