|
| SINGAPORE NATIONAL SHIPPING ASSOCIATION
GUIDELINES. WITHIN SOUTHEAST ASIA, PIRATE WATERS TEND TO BE THE
STRAITS OF SINGAPORE, THE STRAITS OF MALACCA AND THE SOUTH CHINA
SEA. PIRACY INCIDENTS TEND TO OCCUR IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS OUTSIDE
JURISDICTION OF GOVERNMENTS. THE BEST LINE OF DEFENSE IS TO KEEP
PIRATES FROM GETTING ON BOARD BECAUSE THEY (PIRATES) ARE OFTEN
HEAVILY ARMED AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ONCE THEY ARE ON BOARD.
RESISTANCE TO PIRATES ONCE ON BOARD IS NOT RECOMENDED. THE PIRATES
OFTEN KNOW THE LOCAL WATERS VERY WELL, HAVE FAST BOATS AND STRIKE
QUICKLY, USUALLY AT NIGHT.
------------------------------------------------------------- FACTS:
IN 1990 SOUTHEAST ASIA SAW AN INCREASE IN PIRACY. 32 INCIDENTS WERE
REPORTED IN 1990, COMPARED TO 03 INCIDENTS REPORTED IN 1989.
