As our research warns, piracy is today a mode for undermining industrial shipping nations such as the U.S. and, as a result, connects closely with the political imperatives for undermining U.S. foreign policies that drive many terrorist groups. And as we find in our readings, piracy and terrorism have increasingly worked to common ends. Indeed, "despite the romantic image of pirates, the violent seizure of merchantmen on the high seas is a growing problem; in 2001, 335 incidents occurred, a figure that rose the following year to 370. In the first six months of 2003, 234 attacks against merchantmen were recorded, with the waters of the Indonesian archipelago being regarded as the most dangerous." (Daly, 1) the danger of this pattern is reinforced by the events which actually preceded and served as portent to September 11th. When terrorists bombed the U.S.S. Cole, a battleship at port in Yemen, they demonstrated in no uncertain terms that...
As a result, there is sufficient reason for us to speculate that a major and devastating terrorist attack might certainly target our ships and ports in the future. For the United States, security concerns should center on improving the protection of ships moving through international shipping lanes and for dramatically improving the screening of all vessels and their haul as they make port.

Maintaining Peak Efficiency: Shipyards, the Merchant Marine Fleet, and New Technology Saudi Arabia, in order to develop a powerful maritime economy, should take note from the actions and attitudes of other maritime nations such as Norway.

ISPS Code on Maritime Security Shipping is a business that has experienced rapid development in the past five decades as reflected in its increase by more than 450% during this period.

The increased use of ships to transport
S. law dating back to 1819 in more than a century (Gettleman, 2008). Right of Innocent Passage The other significant complication for enforcement action against maritime piracy arises in connection with the economic realities of maritime insurance and the concept of the right of innocent passage through sovereign territorial waters (Langewiesche, 2004). Under the United Nations LOS, unarmed commercial vessels are permitted into the sovereign waters of signatory nations as necessary for reasonable
