on the innocent seafarers themselves – the men and
women who face all manner of hardship in
transporting the world’s precious cargo. They are on
the frontlines of this battle. Their welfare and safety
must also be at the forefront of our concerns ” February 2011

1 Introduction
In responding to the threat of piracy, or a seafarer becoming a victim of piracy and
armed robbery, the seafarers play an important role. This publication provides
guidance on ways that seafarers can be supported by their companies.
The guide may be more applicable to the needs of some companies than others and
we are aware that many companies already have such plans in place and therefore
may choose to use this publication as a checklist for current practice. Where a
Company does not have a plan this document could be used to establish a plan of
action.
