| Abstract | We introduce a model describing the dynamics and interactions of three populations of ships (pirates ships, commercial cargos, and police watercrafts) in a marine region. We establish well-posedness of the coupled ODE-PDEs system describing the ships dynamics and we discuss a related optimal control problem. |
