Sharing intelligence and advanced strategies to mitigate the risks of piracy and sea crime across the MENA region
With maritime piracy costing the world an estimated $60-$70million in 2008, are you 100% confident that you’re equipped to tackle this challenge?
As the number of pirate attacks continues to rise, it is imperative that the entire maritime community – navies, coastguard, ship owners and operators and governments – come together on a regular basis to discuss emerging solutions and to share the intelligence needed to conquer this threat.
