Our military, its partners/stakeholders across HM Government departments and foreign allies, both military and civilian, work together to protect international waters. This includes providing maritime security for international trade in areas with clear threats from piracy, armed robbery at sea and other illegal activity.
Sailors at sea require the support of operational watchkeepers – a trusted team for logging locations, liaising with various countries and local security forces, analysing events and incident management. Required 24/7/365, the Royal Navy is internationally recognised as a leader in Maritime Domain Awareness and a provider of watchkeepers. For the last 10+ years, we have supported them with professional watchkeeping, helping to adapt to digitisation and establish a wider global maritime trade capability.
