International Seafarers' Welfare and Assistance Network - The Maritime Piracy Humanitarian Response Programme (MPHRP), started in 2010, was designed ‘to assist seafarers and their families with the humanitarian aspects of a traumatic incident caused by a piracy attack, armed robbery or being taken hostage.’ Previously a stand-alone programme as a limited company, in August 2015 MPHRP was brought into an established maritime charity, the International Seafarers’ Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN).
