* Total ransom data compiled by author. According to the source, the authors tracked and accounted for
each individual ransom paid in 2011 (where data was available). The statistic lists ransom payments
for hijacked vessels in 2011. Note that some of these
vessels were hijacked in 2010, but were not released
until 2011. The authors included all ransoms paid in 2011 in
order to analyze the 2011 ‘ransom price’ market.
