On the 10th June, EU NAVFOR Force Commander, Commodore Alberto Correia and the Flag Captain Commander Diogo Arroteia visited the recently installed Piracy Information Sharing Centre in Mombasa.
The centre, commissioned by International Maritime Organization’s Secretary-General, Mr. Efthimios E. Mitropoulos was launched on the 31st March and it is the first of three information-sharing centres to contribute to the repression of piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Indian Ocean.
The purpose of the visit was to get a better knowledge of the center’s capabilities, and mainly to understand the flow of information and coordination between the several involved stakeholders.
