ASEAN Navies Hold Maritime Security Information, SharingExercise

SINGAPORE : For the first time, ASEAN navies have come together for an exercise to enhance maritime information sharing. The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) are co-hosting the inaugural ASEAN Maritime Security Information-Sharing Exercise (AMSISX) from July 8 to 10. Chief of Navy Rear-Admiral (RADM) Ng Chee Peng and Chief of Naval Staff of the Indonesian Navy Admiral (ADM) Soeparno officiated at the opening ceremony of the exercise at the Changi Command and Control Centre on Monday afternoon, with navy chiefs from Brunei, Malaysia and Thailand in attendance. 

About 60 personnel from the ASEAN navies will be participating in the inaugural exercise, which is conducted from the Changi Command and Control Centre as well as various naval operations centres in the region. The participants of the exercise, based in Singapore and their respective countries' operations centres, will be linked up through the ASEAN Information-Sharing Portal (AIP). Launched during the opening ceremony, the AIP provides a common platform for all ASEAN navies to share maritime security-related information in the region and enhance information-sharing procedures among the ASEAN countries. 

The development of the AIP, which involved the ASEAN navies, was led by the RSN and the TNI AL. The AMSISX aims to enhance regional maritime security and promote information-sharing among the ASEAN navies. The exercise will see participants sharing information to tackle various maritime security scenarios such as piracy, sea robbery and maritime terrorism. The participation of the ASEAN navies in the exercise reflects their strong commitment to multilateral cooperation and the promotion of regional maritime security.
