2009年1月，化学品运输船“LONGCHAMP”轮在亚丁湾遭海盗劫持，被迫改道前往索马里海域。海盗一开始提出高达600万美元的赎金要求。在经历七周左右的谈判后，船东同意支付185万美元赎金。

UK Supreme Court surprises Adjusters in the LONGCHAMP decision
The LONGCHAMP decision – The Supreme Court interprets the meaning of Rule F of the York-Antwerp Rules differently and more broadly than previous general average adjusting practice.
The GA event and the litigation
In January 2009 the chemical carrier “LONGCHAMP” was boarded by pirates in the Gulf of Aden and diverted to Somali waters. After about seven weeks of negotiations, the vessel’s owners agreed to a ransom of USD 1.85 million, down from the original ransom demand of USD 6 million.
