General Overview
How RCOC transforms diverse maritime information into a coherent regional picture and timely analytical products.
The Regional Coordination Operations Center supports maritime domain awareness by collecting, merging, analysing and sharing maritime information with participating States and regional partners.
Information received from authorised national, regional and maritime sources is validated, correlated and enriched by analysts who understand the operational context of the Western Indian Ocean.
