Resum
In this paper we first analyse major cases that have affected the Maritime Security before and after the terrorist attacks of 11/9, especially incidents involving vessels as "Santa Maria", "Achille Lauro", "Cole", and "Limburg". Then we have focused on the problem of piracy at sea. Finally, in our point of discussion about the Maritime Security we have addressed the problems of identification of ships, persons and goods globally, as well as unilateral US measures on container inspections, with a special emphasis on the initiative known as CSI; and the role of international organizations: IMO, ILO and IMSO.
