Ship hijack off Somalia

We were working onshore and offshore Somalia for various P&I Clubs, UN agencies and super yachts before the spate of Somali piracy began. We were, therefore, well placed and able to provide informed local advice and comprehensive negotiation support to many ship owners and flag states who, in the years that followed, had to cope with the trauma and complexity of hijack situations.
