Following the success recorded in the Western Indian Ocean in the domain of training in the maritime field, EU CRIMARIO will continue working with the existing training facilities available in the region, to develop the culture of Maritime Situational Awareness and improve the inter-agency approach. Namely, the coordination mechanism, already in place and coordinated by the DRTC (Djibouti Regional Maritime Training Centre), will contribute to the definition of specific training needs and optimising the training offered. EU CRIMARIO aims to include the academic perspective available today in various maritime security research centres, think tanks and maritime training institutes geographically beyond the horizons of the DCoC. It will create the basis for a professional growth, a chance to share best management practices and expertise and develop the new culture of maritime information analysis.
