Over more than three decades starting in the 1990s, thousands of
robberies, acts of piracy, and other violent attacks against
merchant vessels have been reported in many of the world's waters.
The grave danger of piracy poses a direct threat not only to the
security and efficiency of marine transportation, but more
seriously, to the lives of the men and woman carrying out this
important function. This book collates ideas brought up by
seafarers, shipowners, industry practitioners, government
officials, academics, and researchers exchanged views and insights
on the complex web of underlying factors behind the phenomenon of
piracy. Piracy at Sea brings together a wide spectrum of maritime
stakeholders, who present different aspects of the problem in an
open manner and share their thoughts on how to deal with a truly
complex situation. It encapsulates this collective wisdom in a
publication that can serve as an easy reference for practitioners
as well as researchers, and hopefully contribute to more concrete
action.

The international nature of the maritime industry means that ships
are subject to the varying legal jurisdictions of the ports in
which they call. Law and policy provide a framework necessary for
establishing order and harmonization in a highly regulated global
industry; they are vital instruments for promoting the safety,
security, and commercial efficiency of shipping as well as the
protection of the marine environment, in an atmosphere of competing
national-contra-global as well as private-contra-public interests.
Furthermore, it is of great importance that the legal and policy
aspects of maritime activities closely follow the rapid pace of
technological and commercial developments. Students and
practitioners in maritime law and policy need to be constantly
familiar with trends in the shipping industry and possess a solid
comprehension of the international legal regimes that not only
encourage the sustainable development of global maritime commerce,
but also regulate its conduct. This book is a collection of essays
dedicated to Professor Proshanto Kumar "PK" Mukherjee, one of the
leading lights in the area of maritime law and policy. It presents
a mix of background information and insightful analysis by leading
experts on a wide range of some of the most pressing and
contemporary maritime law and policy topics -- ranging from the
development of maritime standards (Mbiah) to the challenges of
operating flags of convenience (Mensah), from the latest convention
on the international carriage of goods by sea (Basu Bal) to
liability and compensation issues related to ship-source marine
pollution (Jacobsson, Xu, Kojima), from the intricacies of marine
insurance law (Thomas, Gauci) to the vagaries of the conflict of
laws (Manolis), and from the legal framework for maritime piracy
(Menefee) to the linkages between political stability, economic
development, and piracy (Mejia).
