November 15, 2011
Alastair Evitt, president of InterManager, the international association that represents the societies of ship management, have launch a new appeal so that the protection of the crews of the ships is guaranteed in confronts of attacks and of the seizures perpetrated from the pirates.
"With 273 marine ones held in this moment hostage - Evitt in occasion of the shareholders' meeting of the association has declared today - I consider that it is necessary to evidence the horrors of international piracy". Emphasizing that "the industry of the shipping has tackled only regarding this problem", Evitt has expressed appreciation for the initiatives which got ahead from the marine field, in particular the Maritime campaign "Save Our Seafarers" and initiative "Piracy Humanitarian Responde Programme", and has remembered the engagement of InterManager so that the States of flag give to the shipowners and ship to the managers the freedom to choose if to on board employ armed guards of the ships that journey in areas, as the Indian Ocean, infested from the pirates.
"Our marine staff - Evitt has said - constitutes the spine of our industry and their safety and their well-being are the first worry of InterManager". Moreover the president of the association has defined "frightful" the release of the pirates captured from the naval forces and has evidenced the importance "to reduce the effectiveness of the ships mother" used by the pirates in order to complete their assaults and the importance to induce the international community to place in existence credible measures in order to characterize and to hit which finance international piracy.
