With over 90% of global trade flowing through maritime routes and waterways, seas and oceans serve as the crucial lifelines for international commerce. The stability of these corridors is constantly challenged by multifaceted crises that cause the closure of crossings and create global economic turmoil.
The core of an effective maritime security strategy recognises that security extends beyond naval capabilities alone. It necessitates a coordinated effort among naval forces, coast guards, maritime law enforcement bodies, international organisations, the private sector, and environmental agencies. Such a unified approach is crucial for ensuring the safety of major sea lanes, safeguarding maritime interests, and fostering the sustainable exploitation of water resources.
