Abstract

War Ships and as the backbone of the world’s seaborne trade, merchant ships may be subject to similar threats of Maritime IEDs. From a maritime security perspective, the best way to increase situational awareness at seas and ports is to assess the current threats and to foresee future ones.When the methods used by terrorist organizations are examined, it is seen that the Maritime IED attacks are not the daily threats due to the characteristics of the marine environment, but the losses and loss of life could be big if this threat is ignored. As a result of the successful attacks carried out by terrorist organizations, it was understood that they have been working on improving themselves in maritime attacks. Thus, the activities carried out by terrorist organizations should be closely monitored and necessary precautions must be taken, especially as they may have negative effects on commercial maritime traffic.In this study, general information about the “Maritime Security” is given and the concept of Maritime IED is explained in detail. The new Maritime IED’s which are encountered in the maritime environment was examined. In the light of these maritime IED’s and the developing maritime technologies, was tried to find answers to what kind of Maritime IED’s could be encountered in the future.

Deniz Ortamında El Yapımı Patlayıcı Düzenek (EYPD)’ler Genelinde Terörist Tehditler ve Deniz Güvenliğine Etkileri

Abstract

Dünya denizlerinde harp gemileri ile ticari faaliyetlerde kullanılan sivil bahriye gemilerinin, denizel El Yapımı Patlayıcı Düzenek (EYPD) tehdidi ile karşılaşma olasılığı bulunmaktadır. Deniz güvenliğinin sağlanması açısından bu tehdidin, neler olduğu ve gelecekte karşılaşılabilecek tehditlerin neler olacağı sorularına yanıt bulunmasının, denizde durumsal farkındalığı artıracağı değerlendirilmektedir. Terör örgütlerinin kullandığı yöntemler incelendiğinde, deniz ortamının sahip olduğu özellikler sebebiyle, denizel EYPD saldırıları her gün karşılaşılabilecek tehditler olmamakla birlikte, bu tehdidin göz ardı edilmesi durumunda oluşacak zararlar ve can kayıpları büyük olabilecektir. Yapılan incelemede, terör örgütlerinin denizi kullanarak eylemler yaptıkları ve kendilerini bu alanda geliştirmeye çalıştıkları görülmüştür. Bu nedenle, özellikle ticari deniz trafiği üzerinde olumsuz yönde etkilerinin olabileceği sebebiyle, terör örgütlerince yapılan faaliyetler yakından takip edilmeli ve gerekli önlemler alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmada; “Deniz Güvenliği” hakkında genel bilgiler verilmiş, “Denizel EYPD” kavramı detaylı olarak açıklanmış ve deniz ortamında karşılaşılan yeni denizel EYPD’lerin, neler olduğu ve gelişen teknolojinin ışığında gelecekte ne tür denizel EYPD’ler ile karşılaşılabileceği incelenmiştir.
