Somali Pirates attack ships and hijack the ship, cargo and crew. These properties can be returned only after ship owner pay for huge ransom. The pirates in Somalia are threatening to the passing ships. The UN Security Council has adopted a resolution for all the nations to use their armed forces to solve the issues of Somali pirates. The countries can adopt all possible means including land or air force to do that with the permission of Somalia government. Though the involvement of government has successfully driven out the Somali pirates of the dangerous sea area to a certain extent, a series of problems on international law caused by Somali pirates affected the industrial and academic parts in many countries. Piracy ransom was the most concern issue of the world. In the past, pirates hijacked ship to rob the goods or existing property in the ship, and they may hurt the crew. Somali pirate owns the different characteristics. They simply withhold ship, cargo and crew to obtain ransom without doing damage to the ship, cargo and crew. The discrepancy between the form of piracy and the existing international law system makes Somali piracy ransom become focal issues.
The research begins at the definition of pirates. Since there are different old definitions applied, the international court has no way to punish the crime and which indirectly encourages the pirates to work. Secondly, the introduction of pirate economics is made to the different roles of pirates that recorded in the history. A new business of armed guards of the vessel is introduced to know how it functions and how it hits the Somali pirates. The restrictions of arm guards are also be in the discussion. Following with an independent chapter, to introduce the Somali Pirates by the races and domestic economy etc. and review the paper of economists to study the interaction between the Somali pirates and their cities. The final chapter will be the key part of this research. It analyzes the formation of the Somali piracy ransom, and divided it into three parts: ship ransom, goods ransom and people ransom. Then it discusses the necessity of ransom’s payments in details. The analysis is the foundation to compare the piracy ransom with particular average, general average and maritime salvage. Then it focuses on the possible solutions of piracy ransom. It put forward the tentative idea that P＆I club and government agencies will play a role in apportioning piracy ransom in the existing insurance law system. It will be expected to provide theoretical support to solve the problem of Somali piracy ransom.
This study is different from the past. The point of views from the economic and legal sides will be applied. By various issues, we could know the pirates more and could then find the best solution for the Somalia pirate activities.
