Philippines bans its sailors from Somali pirate waters
By Robert Wright in London and Roel Landingin in Manila

The Philippine government said yesterday that it was banning its seafarers from sailing through the pirateinfested waters off Somalia, threatening a serious disruption of world shipping.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's spokesman announced a "deployment ban of Filipino sailors on ships passing through the Gulf of Aden", where pirates have attacked scores of ships in recent months. Seafarers' safety was the government's main concern, he added.

The Philippines is the world's largest supplier of maritime labour, providing at least 10 per cent of the 1.5m ocean-going seafarers. Somalia's piracy epidemic has hit the country particularly hard. Manila said 105 of about 320 crew being held hostage there were Filipinos.

However, it remains unclear how wide-ranging the ban is and how Manila plans to enforce it. The Gulf of Aden gives access to the Red Sea and Suez Canal - a vital world trade route.

Guy Morel, the general secretary of InterManager, an organisation for managers who employ many crews, said: "If the Philippines were to suspend the sending of, or limit the travel of, seafarers to the pirate area, that would definitely disrupt world shipping."

The Philippine announcement suggested that a presidential decree had banned all Filipino merchant sailors from Somali pirate waters. Last week, Manila's labour department issued more limited directives to manning agencies. These said that ships with Filipino crew should stay at least 200 nautical miles off Somalia's east coast. In the Gulf of Aden, they should stay within the designated transit corridor watched carefully by international naval forces.

The department of foreign affairs said the Philippine navy would send a liaison officer to the US naval base in Bahrain, which is controlling many anti-piracy operations off Somalia.

Seafarers may not co-operate with any outright ban. Mr Morel pointed out that crews received double pay and other benefits while in the piracy zone. "As far as we're concerned, we believe that ships are still going through," he said.
