Following the success of previous discussions between AMSA and the Abu Dhabi Maritime Security Executive Committee (MSEC), a delegation visited the AMSA Canberra office on Wednesday 10 March. The MSEC requested the visit to discuss maritime security and management issues prior to the implementation of their new maritime strategy.

The group was welcomed by Deputy Chief Executive Officer Mick Kinley before being briefed on a range of issues including seafarer licensing, National Plan training and equipment matters, emergency towage and search and rescue operations. The visit concluded with a tour of the Rescue Coordination Centre.
