Piracy Clause is stated in Clause 39, which regulates the contractual relationship between the parties relating to piracy risks. The clause broadly reflects the words of the BlMCO Piracy Clause for Time Charterparties, when the latest version was issued in 2013. BlMCO Piracy Clause is now generally applied in almost all charterparties.  Parts of clause 39 is no more than a reiteration Clause 34, even though it identifies the costs concerning the piracy. The charterer is liable for the additional premium and any addition costs of insurance required by the shipowner, such as the Kidnap and Ransom insurance when the vessel is performed in the area exposed to piracy risk. In addition, off-hire issues have also been included in the clause. 81 These are under the amendment of 1946 version by Gross J in The Saldanha 82 and Cooke J in The Captain Stefanos . 83 Piracy is likely to decrease, 84 so the application of the clause might be comparable to the enhancement of the scheme for fighting during the last war. However, these can deal with piracy generally, and there is a benefit to adding this clause, even if it may be too late to handle the immediate crisis. 85 81  Paul Todd (n 6) 312 82  Cosco Bulk Carrier Co Ltd v Team-Up Owning Co Ltd (The M/V Saldanha) [ 2010] EWHC 1340  (Comm) 83  Osmium Shipping Corporation v Cargill international SA (The Captain Stefanos) [ 2012 ] EWHC 571 (Comm) 84  ICC International Maritime Bureau , ‘ ICC IMB Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships - 2014 Annual Report ’ ( ICC International Maritime Bureau , January 2015 ) <http :/ /www.hellenicshippingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2014-Annual -IMB-Pira cy-Report-ABRIDGED.pdf> accessed 9 September 2016 85  Paul Todd (n 6) 313 วารสารวิชาการนิติศาสตร์ มหาวิทยาลัยทักษิณ ปีที่ 6 ฉบับที่ 8 กรกฎาคม 2560 - มิถุนายน 2561 139
