[...] The risk of piracy is assessed much higher than the risk of maritime terrorism. Figures about losses caused by piracy show that the number of attacks as well as the value of the losses have significantly increased during the past 5 years. In 2010 the insurers experienced more losses than in the previous five years. However,the survey reveals, that it is not necessary to alter the insurance conditions, as the risk of piracy can be adequately covered through war risk premiums. With respect to defence measures, it becomes clear, that single measures cannot reduce the risk of being attacked by pirates independently. According to the open answers, it can be concluded that elaborate security management systems are necessary to secure a ship from being attacked successfully by pirates. [...] (PiraT/Pll)
