International maritime transport in container ships has been framed with a number of international rules and norms. In addition, the misuse of maritime transport in illicit trade is a concern of both governments and industry. They have been active in combating counterfeiting and piracy on a number of fronts, both independently and, equally importantly, with each other. Besides efforts undertaken in a national context, governments have been working through multilateral institutions and on a bilateral and regional basis to address these issues. Industry has also been active, nationally and internationally, both on a sectoral and cross-sectoral basis.
