Given these numerous concerns, a pan-industry alliance of ship owners, unions, managers, manning agents, insurers and shipping- and welfare associations (maritime, labour, faith or secular) has come together to establish the "Maritime Piracy: a Humanitarian Response Programme" (MPHRP). The objectives of this Programme address the three phases of "pre-, during and post-incident", with the aim of implementing a model of assisting seafarers and their families with the humanitarian aspects of a traumatic incident caused by a piracy attack, armed robbery or being taken hostage.}, doi = {10.12716/1001.08.03.13}, issn = {2083-6473}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University, Faculty of Navigation}, keywords = {Piracy, Armed Robbery, Piracy Attack, Maritime Piracy Humanitarian Response Programme (MPHRP), Maritime Piracy, Traumatic Incident, Maritime Hijacking, Human Factor (HF)} }
