UK minister to raise pirate ransom insurance concerns with security ministry
BRITISH shipping minister John Hayes will discuss with his Home Office (security ministry) counterparts the issue of piracy ransoms following marine insurance concerns that a proposed new ban on paying ransoms to terrorist groups could hinder the release of captured crews and vessels.
Experts say that aspects of the counter-terrorism bill, to be unveiled soon, could be of commercial concern to insurers, especially if they find themselves having to prove that pirate groups collecting the money have no links to terrorists, reports Lloyd's List.
