Combatting Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships in Southeast Asia: The Way Forward

Abstract: has been a dramatic increase in the number of reported incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships in waters in Southeast Asia, especially in the Malacca Strait and in Indonesian waters. Very few of the incidents in Southeast Asia are "piracy" as defined in international law because they took place in waters under the sovereignty of a coastal state. Nevertheless, many of the incidents posed serious threats to the safety of international maritime navigation. Some were offences under the 1988 Convention … Show more

“…Moreover, there are virtually no incentives in reporting attacks as long as the financial losses are not severe (Bangert Struwe 2009;Davis 2009;Møller 2009;Rosenberg and Chung 2008;Rosenberg 2009;Matison 2009). In addition, coastal authorities may be reluctant to report incidents as it may reflect negatively on their image (Beckman 2002). Notably, the increase on the reported annual figures can be explained by the realisation that effective ways to combat piracy can be explored by analysing such information, as commented by Mak (2007).…”

“…The challenges in annual and monthly reporting, communication between the reporting organisations and piracy definitions are highlighted in Bruyneel (2003) and Scheffler (2010) respectively. In particular, the weaknesses of the existing piracy definitions are mentioned by any researcher involved in analysing piracy (Mejia Jr et al 2008Beckman 2002;Mo 2002;Talley and Rule 2008;Dillon 2005;Jesus 2003;Hong and Ng 2010;Collins and Hassan 2009).…”

“…Keyuan (2000) echoes this importance, claiming that overlapping claims and boundary delimitation issues impede cooperation in the South China Sea. Bilateral patrols and information sharing agreements between pairs of states are another effective way to combat piracy (Beckman 2002). Bateman (2003) and He (2009) suggest that states in Southeast Asia cooperate through their coast guards, claiming this will avoid inflaming the sensitivity towards sovereignty faced in the region.…”
