This year's edition of South East Asia Cooperation and Training (SEACAT) took multinational participants out of the sea, and onto the Web. Singapore joined navies from across the region and around the world for a three-day virtual symposium on Maritime Domain Awareness Symposium for this year's US-led SEACAT.

"It is important for maritime security (MARSEC) stakeholders to understand the regional MARSEC situation, insights and how timely information-sharing among MARSEC stakeholders and operational cueing by IFC can lead to operational successes."— SLTC Gary Ow, Head of Information Fusion Centre

Stay safe and we hope to be able to meet soon!
