This website speaks for the entire global shipping industry.
We say that the abomination of Somali maritime piracy must be lawfully uprooted and stamped out.
The criminals who perpetrate these appalling armed attacks must be put behind bars. Their backers must join them in prison.
Despite the admirable efforts of our naval defences forces, most captured pirates are released due to lack of evidence, lack of political will or lack of the facilities to put them on trial, convict and punish them. We need more courts, more trials and bigger, better prisons in the East African region.
This can only be brought about through the efforts and cooperation of numerous governmental and international agencies. We call upon them, in the name of the suffering hostages, the industry and the world community to wipe out this extortion, 'a stain on the world'.
Thank you for your support.
