Anti-piracy Training for Veteran Maritime Officers
A new training programme for experienced maritime enforcement officers, aimed at helping combat piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia, has been launched.
The programme will involve the eight ASEAN members of ReCAAP (the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia) – Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam – as well as representatives from Indonesia and Malaysia.
Experts from organisations such as the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore and the United States Coast Guard will share their knowledge in areas that include handling emerging threats such as cyber security and maritime terrorism.
