Maritime Threats to Supply Chain

- Internal & External

Maritime Security Cooperation

- Collaboration between Governments &

Private Sector

Organized By:



Lesser transportation costs – It is often much

cheaper to ship by sea for large and heavier

shipments.

Improving transit times - technology

continuously improves in the global maritime

industry. Ships are becoming faster and more

efficient. Canals have created shorter shipping

routes with shipments crossing the oceans with

shorter transit times.

Environmental Impact: Not everything is about

the bottom line and convenience. While the

social awareness of environmental issues can

change the way the public looks at a company

and affect its bottom line, we all have a

responsibility of taking care of the planet on

which we live. CO2 emissions are much higher

in air freight transport than ocean freight

transport.

Today, nearly 80% of global trade is transported

in ships.

There are currently over 17 million shipping

containers in the world, and five or six million of

them are currently shipping around the world on

vessels, trucks, and trains. In total, they make

around 200 million trips a year.

The value of the shipping industry to global

economy exceeds US$ 400 Billion per year.(Source: World Shipping Council)

External Threats: Piracy and Terrorism

Organized By:



• As of January 2015, Asia maritime piracy attacks

rise to 75% of global total (source: Reuters)

• World Bank estimates the global economic impact

of piracy at US$18 billion a year

• In Southeast Asia, as fish stocks decline, coastal

dwellers are turning to piracy to supplement their

incomes (source: Lily Kuo, qz.com)

• Terrorist groups have reportedly been planning to

use tankers as “floating bombs”

Piracy Versus Terrorism

• Maritime “Common Piracy” - economical

objective by perpetrators driven by greed rather

than political motivations.

• Political piracy - politically oriented groups use

piratical tactics to finance their activities.

• Maritime terrorism and maritime insurgency -

have a political motivation, carried out by

organizations with political objectives.

Organized By:



• International maritime terrorism (Al Qaeda & its

affiliates) has the aim and potential to harm

international security as well as international trade,

maritime insurgency (Abu Sayyaf Group in the

Philippines or the LTTE in Sri Lanka) has mostly

local geographical repercussions.

Organized By:



• Economically oriented terrorism - politically

motivated attacks conducted by organizations

primarily interested in financial benefits with only a

marginal part of attacks amounting to maritime

violence.

Security Nr. 5, April 2011)
