ANALYSIS OF MARITIME PIRACY AND ARMED ROBBERY ATTACKS AGAINST SHIPS
Öz
Maritime pirates usually attack in commercially narrow, risky and strategic waterways. In this paper, maritime piracy and armed robbery attacks against ships in Gulf of Aden, Somalia, Indonesia and other risky high seas are analyzed for the period 2009-2013. Primary factors behind the acts of maritime piracy attacks, international efforts to combat maritime piracy which includes legal issues, related agreements, regulations, clauses and multinational efforts have been reviewed in this paper. The Chi Square Test (χ2) was used to determine whether a relationship exists between non-parametric variables such as attacks by years, months and hours; type of attacks; type of vessels attacked; attacks by regions and locations; latitude and longitude of attacks and the number of pirates who attacked against ships. A general evaluation was conducted and further required measurements and suggestions are proposed to combat maritime piracy and armed robbery against ships.
