The Indo Pacific Regional Information Sharing Platform (IORIS) to support delivering humanitarian aid to Somalia

Although latest developments regarding international legal framework have brought a new scenario in which international navies are not allowed to operate inside Somali Territorial Waters, the protection of WFP vessels remains a crucial part of Operation Atalanta’s mandate. Monitoring and timely information-sharing with WFP vessels inside Somali TTW is ever more important, as the EU Operation ATALANTA can either coordinate or serve as a critical link to potential first responders. Moreover, the...

For INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY we interviewed Marianne Peron-Doise, Political Adviser for CRIMARIO II project

What are today the greatest common challenges in maritime security?  By far the most problematic source of maritime insecurity for States is the phenomenon of obstacles to the freedom of the seas. I would add that the most commonly cited risks and threats at sea, such as piracy, unreported and unregulated illegal fishing (IUU), maritime terrorism and other criminal activities, are only the by-products of this fundamental issue, which is for states to be able to control their maritime domain...

OUR WORK

our-work2

To enhance information exchange and analysis, and strengthen inter-agency cooperation in the Indo Pacific region, the CRIMARIO II project has developed an information sharing tool named IORIS and a framework to link existing information exchange systems named SHARE.IT, both available to all maritime agencies in the Indo Pacific region.
The project also organises training courses on law enforcement and maritime safety, as well as exercises to practice inter-agency work cooperation at regional and national levels.

IORIS

The Indo Pacific Regional Information Sharing (IORIS) platform is a secure and neutral, web-based, maritime coordination and information-sharing tool for national and regional multi-agency use.

SHARE.IT

SHARE.IT was developed within the project to link existing information – exchange systems, and in this way facilitate the exchange of information and data among different Centres in a structured, secure and sustainable manner.

Maritime Safety and Security Training

The development of the blue economy requires the control of crimes and incidents at sea. In response, the CRIMARIO II project advocates regional cooperation and inter-agency coordination and offers its partners in the Indo-Pacific the option to receive tailor-made training packages, designed to meet the specific needs of individual countries.

MARITIME EXERCISES

Exercises are perhaps the most powerful training tool available to prepare personnel, administrations and governments to confront the vast spectrum of maritime safety and security challenges, in today’s complex world.
