MarEx Podcast Returns:

Newly introduced concept and news vehicle for the MarEx e-newsletter is back with another podcast. Our third podcast recounts our May 7th lead editorial referencing piracy issues. Tune in and listen now.

The May 5th Senate subcommittee hearing on piracy provided a very public forum that served to ramp up the debate on how best to protect U.S. merchant ships. Shipowners and crewmembers alike pleaded with Congress to allow for armed protection on board U.S. flagged assets operating in the pirate infested waters off the coast of Somalia. When the hearing ended, however, the question of who would provide that security, how it would be deployed and who would pay for it remained unanswered.
