EMSA signed a Cooperation Agreement with the Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre – Narcotics (MAOC-N) to support the combat of drug trafficking.
This commitment was formalised at a joint meeting on 9 January.
MAOC-N is an international agency which coordinates anti-drug trafficking action. It is backed financially by the Prevention against Crime Programme of the European Union.
EMSA is expected to offer integrated vessel monitoring and earth observation information to boost this counter narcotic action where possible.
