 “ The Marine Waves ” is a FREE International Maritime Newsletter, dedicated to Seafaring and maritime fraternity, launched on the World Maritime Day, 30th September 2004. Inaugural Issue released, during “World Maritime Day Celebrations" held in ‘Seafarers Club’, Fort Glacis, Chennai. Shipping is perhaps the most International of the world's Industries, serving more than ninety per cent of the global trade, by carrying huge quantities of cargo cost-effectively, cleanly and safely. The ownership and management chain surrounding any ship, can embrace many countries and ships spend their economic life moving between different jurisdictions, often far from the country of registry. There is, therefore, a need for International Standards to regulate Shipping - which can be adopted and accepted by all

SOMALI PIRATES ACCEPT RANSOM BUT REFUSE TO RELEASE INDIAN SAILORS: Somali pirates have released a hijacked ship after taking a hefty ransom but kept back seven Indians among the 15- member crew who were taken hostage last year, One of the pirates told The Associated Press news agency that this was being done in retaliation to the Indian Navy arresting more than 100 Somali pirates over the past few months. The pirate, Hassan Farah, said pirates in stronghold of Haradhere in Somalia had taken a collective decision not to release the Indian crew members of MT Asphalt Venture.The "shocking development", which reached the Indian shores late Friday night, has not gone down well as DG Shipping Satish Agnihotri said, "This is the first time in the history of shipping that a hostage situation has continued after the ransom was paid and this will now change everything." Capt. Pottengal Mukundan, Director of the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), added, "This tactic has not been used before. We need to study this new position carefully. Though, one principle comes across clearly, that it is not possible to allow crime and criminals to dictate the terms of response with governments and navies, and if it happens then all I can say is we have lost the initiative." He added, "If the pirates were to break the arrangement, it will not be good for them as the ship owners will never believe them and this could have serious ramifications on life and property." In a press statement, the ship owners OMCI Ship Management, said, "Despite concluding a dialogue with the pirates for the full release of 15 crew and vessel and payment of the ransom, the vessel has been released but the Master has reported that 6 officers and 1 rating were taken off the tanker and were made to accompany the pirates."
