摘要

Resourcefulness is second nature to small island states. It is even more essential for the ports on which those countries depend for the imports that sustain their populations. It is a quality that the Seychelles Ports Authority (SPA) has needed to draw on constantly over the past five years. The prolonged trade depression has presented all port operators with challenges, but the SPA has additionally had to cope with the damage caused to its business by Somali piracy. Its position south-east of Somalia, well within the reach of mother ships, put Seychelles in the front line in the fight against the sea raiders. While the country has received plaudits for its willingness to prosecute piracy suspects and to host international anti-piracy forces, these efforts have done little to help the SPA's business, particularly in the cruise realm. The fear of attack in the piracy High Risk Area, the consequent need for onboard security, and higher insurance premiums all but wiped the western Indian Ocean off cruise operators' maps.
