<< The EU revised Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS 2023) intends to strengthen the EU’s autonomy and capacity to respond to threats in the maritime domain, safeguard its interests at sea, and protect its citizens, values and economy. It sets a general approach with guiding principles to ensure coordination and consistency between the EU's various instruments and policies contributing to maritime security.>>(https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/maritime-security_en)

In times of growing global competition and tension maritime security is rapidly broadening its spectrum of concerns and attention. Comprehensive answers are required to increase awareness and preparedness against all potential odds.

Necessary measures range from the deterrence and mitigation of potential attackers to the implementation of active countermeasures. This requires the coordinated and seamless cooperation of all public and private stakeholders.

However, as the recent Nordstream incidents off the Danish Island of Bornholm proved, maritime security measures, no matter how compact they are, cannot prevent from all thinkable incidents. Therefore, maritime security operations must no stop short at the protection from imminent threats, but also needs to incorporate all available sources to provide necessary emergency response and disaster relief capabilities.

With our MARISSA Day 15 we will shed some light on the question on how to prepare for the potential consequences from major maritime incidents. Who are the primary actors in such cases and how are coordinated response operations ensured to minimize consequential damages and losses.
