Despite the presence of military ships from several countries outside the coats of Somalia, Somalia-based sea piracy remains a problem. The most obvious effect of this is increasing shipping costs as insurance premiums rises and as ships going from Asia to Europe avoid the Gulf of Aden and instead travels the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa.It will now also raise the price of tuna as fishing fleets increasingly stay away from the tuna rich waters outside Somalia, something which has resulted in reduced catches and therefore higher prices.
