Evaluation of the existing piracy protection measures

Piracy consists of various forms of organised piracy activities directed against the ship, aiming at unrighteous acquisition of material and/or financial assets. In the worst cases the results of piracy are human casualties, and, very frequently, the loss of cargo. This paper discusses the impact of acts of piracy closely connected to the selection of navigational routes and to the safety of navigation. It presents piracy threatened areas in the world. Comparable areas are subject to a comparative analysis. This paper gives the evaluation of piracy areas and suggests their classification. It is assumed that suggested classification will allow for the evaluation of the existing piracy protection measures.
