Guest post by CAPT Bruce Jones, Chief, Office of Strategic Analysis (CG-0951): The Coast Guard has long understood the importance of partnerships as a force multiplier. The interagency and international response to the catastrophe in Haiti is the most recent example. Working together, under a unified command structure with partners who share common goals, can result in remarkable success in mission execution and mission support.

While we haven't had Amistad enroll in Amver yet there were 13 other ships that have signed up. It's always interesting to look at the IMO number of the ships.

We couldn't believe it when we read it. In fact, the whole Amver staff was a bit surprised seeing the Financial Post headline Pirate stock exchange helps fund hijackings. But the truth is, according to Reuters reporter Mohamed Ahmed, there are approximately 72 companies "listed" on the exchange or "community activity" as one hijacker called it.Is the exchange a success? 10 of the 72 listed companies had successful hijackings!

Since the IMO declared 2010 the Year of the Seafarer we thought we could expand on that campaign and put together an Amver video.Amver would not be a success without the work and dedication of mariners and rescue controllers. The other part of Amver are the survivors. All of these pieces make the Amver story complete. With that in mind we want to bring these pieces together in a video.

The lines between piracy and terrorism were blurred this week when the Singapore Navy received a warning that terror groups would be targeting oil or product tankers in the Malacca Straights.
