The project
aims at supporting the coordination of maritime security projects funded
by the European Union, within the framework of the Critical Maritime
Routes Program.
The stakes are high as it is about:
- assessing the Critical Maritime Routes Program impact on maritime
security issues;
- strengthening the communication between all stakeholders, with a website
creation, and the organization of maritime security seminaries.
“Due to globalization and liberalization of exchange, international
seaborne trade has greatly increased during the last 40 years. This
growth has in parallel led to an increase of illicit activities and
notably piracy” states the Admiral François Dupont,
DCI-NAVFCO Director. “We are proud to work with the European
Union on this project, as we have a real expertise in the maritime security
realm.” |
