		<description><![CDATA[Last week I posted on the new Somalia &#8220;smart&#8221; sanctions and noted that the concerns by the maritime industry that the new sanctions would prohibit ransom payments were unfounded. The industry was concerned that language in the executive order, which permitted designations of persons engaged in piracy off the coast of Somalia, would prohibit payments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week Philip Shapiro, the CEO of Liberty Maritime, testified before the Senate subcommittee with oversight over merchant marine infrastructure and argued that Congress should take action to permit merchant ships to arm themselves either by arming their crews or by hiring armed security guards for the voyage.

		<description><![CDATA[ABOVE: Ron Kuby Although U.S. and international laws relating to piracy aren&#8217;t strictly within the domain of export laws, the issues are of considerable interest to the export community, both legal and otherwise, because of the impact of piracy on export trade from the U.S. and other countries. Also, it&#8217;s an interesting subject and allows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Private security company Blackwater is, apparently, pitching itself to shipping companies as their solution to all their pirate problems. They&#8217;ve even got a 183-foot ship that can carry two helicopters and a shipload, so to speak, of rigid-hull inflatable boats. The ship can carry 30 pirate hunters in addition to its crew of 15.

		<description><![CDATA[ABOVE:Somali Pirates Today we&#8217;re going to take a brief detour into the law of piracy which, although not strictly an export law topic, is a legal topic of interest to many exporters, particularly if a ship carrying their exports gets nabbed by modern-day pirates off the Horn of Africa.
