Global Corruption Issues

Mark Pyman ex Transparency International

• In many countries, extracting money from business is not corruption, its part of the culture and how the country is structured !

• Corruption costs $1.0 trillion per annum • It traps millions in poverty

• Undermines the rule of law

• Breeds social unrest and political crisis

• Successful democratic elections integrating terrorist groups, doesn’t change them into democratic organisations

Global Corruption Issues

index - ease of doing

(SCEG maritime security conference 25th June 2015)

• Countries spending on military & training, don't focus on ethics or values

• Security forces in West Africa penetrated by organised crime

• $8 of $10 spent is unaccounted for

• Africa treated as single region

Differences

West Africa • 80% of all incidents conducted

within coastal States • Coastal States are integral to

solving the problem. • No international naval coalition

forces present, confused reporting procedures.

• Pirates based along the coastal States of GoG.

• Pirate MOs are different but more violent.

• GoG is not a vital SLOC*. • East Africa PMSC model doesn’t

suit GoG coastal States.

East Africa

• Piracy committed on the high seas.

• Coastal states peripheral to problem.

• 3 international naval coalition forces established reporting procedures.

• Pirates predominantly based in the failed state of Somalia.

• Pirate MO ransom ship and crew.

• SLOC* through HRA are critically important with vital choke-points.

• PMSCs used extensively to protect ships successfully.

* Sea Lines Of Communication

Nigeria – New incumbent President Buhari

Buhari inaugural speech:-

• Thanked neighbouring countries leaders of Cameroon, Chad and Niger that helped in fighting Boko Haram

• Committed Army command centre to be relocated to Maiduguri until Boko Haram subdued

Meantime:-

• Advice is “do not take even unarmed advisors on ships calling in Nigerian waters”

• MoUs with Nigerian Navy held by International Maritime Security Providers of little value

• Not yet clear if NIMASA or Nigerian Navy will be the lead maritime security

• Buhari likely to make progress on security in the North but face problems in the South

Malacca Straits

• Indonesia – 17,000 islands

• Petrol prices increased by 33%

• Orkim Harmony, borded early evening of June 11th. 6,000 tonnes of product —$5m at market prices

• Incidents an alarming symptom of a regional uptake in piracy

• ReCAAP, regional co-ordinating agency accused of downplaying the latest spike

Even petty thieves attempting to board in congested waterways, cause accidents. “It’s like someone climbing into your boot while you’re driving down a motorway” Philip Belcher Intertanko, ( Economist 26th June 2015)

RTI principles and progress

Internally at RTI We apply ISO standards of 17021 and 28003 and the principles of :- • Impartiality (conflict register) • Competence • Responsibility • Openness • Confidentiality • Responsiveness to complaints Formation of Independent Governance Board (IGB) – Industry Experts • Reports & Meetings with IDG • Internal Audits by RTI independent auditor (Aviation Audit trained) • Regular External audits by UKAS

Page 26: Piracy and Maritime Security Standards - Intertanko · Piracy and Maritime Security Standards Content ... IAF - International ... Guide lines for PMSC providing armed security personnel

Observations raised

1. Firearms training • 4.4.4 - weapons specific training • Difference between weapons drills on-board and weapons training not understood 2. Screening and vetting of security personnel 3. Size of PMSC and how they manage operations • 48 PMSCs are currently ISO 28007 certified and operating • Companies remaining smaller and with less resources, taking longer

Page 27: Piracy and Maritime Security Standards - Intertanko · Piracy and Maritime Security Standards Content ... IAF - International ... Guide lines for PMSC providing armed security personnel

Observations raised

4. Risk assessments Smaller companies not grasping the concept of robust risk assessments. Sometimes difficult to relay to a client that does not have experience and knowledge of drafting such documentation. 5. ICOCA and human rights 6. Benefits of the transit audit – life cycle of the components necessary for a transit.

• Geographic spread (West and East Africa?)

• Usually Red Sea, East Africa, Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean • Additional areas added afterwards - covered by scope extension

Potential for scope extension as security issues develop elsewhere • Potential for new PMSC certification as the business moves

eastwards. (China)
