Over recent decades, it has been widely recognised that terrorist
attacks at sea could result in major casualties and cause
significant disruptions to the free flow of international shipping.
After discussing the overlaps and distinctions between piracy and
maritime terrorism, this book considers how the International Ship
and Port Facility Security Code, and other vessel identification
and tracking measures in the 1974 International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea, would be likely to reduce the risk of
terrorist attacks at sea. It explains how the 1982 United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea is less than clear on the powers
of states to protect offshore installations, submarine cables and
pipelines from interference by terrorists. In light of these
uncertainties, it considers how the 2005 Protocol to the Convention
for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Maritime Navigation,
the doctrine of necessity and states' inherent self-defence rights
might apply in the maritime security context. A significant
contribution of the book is the formulation of the Maritime
Terrorism Threat Matrix, which provides a structured framework for
examining how maritime terrorism incidents have occurred, and might
occur in the future. The book also examines the relevant national
maritime security legislation for preventing maritime terrorist
attacks in the United Kingdom and in Australia. The book concludes
by formulating guidelines for the unilateral interdiction of
suspected terrorist vessels in exceptional circumstances, and
recommending priorities for governments and international maritime
industries to focus on in order to reduce the risk for terrorist
attacks at sea. It will be of interest to those working in the
areas of Law and Terrorism, Law of the Sea, Maritime Law and
Insurance and International Law.
