handle is hein.journals/jtms6 and id is 168 raw text is: Floating Armories and Privately Contracted Armed Security Personnel on Board Ships: Balancing Coastal State Security Concerns Against Navigational Freedom Sindhura Natesha Polepalli Structured Abstract Article Type: Research Paper Purpose-Balancing navigational freedom against coastal State security concerns in the context of privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP) on board ships and floating armories (FA) at sea. Design, Methodology, Approach-A comparative analysis of the standpoint of the private maritime security industry and flag, port and coastal States alongside the role of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The character of the terri- torial sea (TS) and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) are examined in light of rel- evant maritime incidents and provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982 (UNCLOS). Findings-Maritime incidents demonstrate that FA and PCASP on board ships can be non-peaceful and can prejudice coastal State security. However, current reg- ulations do not satisfy coastal State security concerns. To meet this lacuna, the role of the IMO is indispensable. Meanwhile, the prior notification requirement can be viewed as a precautionary measure of Maritime Domain Awareness.
