ReCAAP ISC was launched in the city-state in 2006 and has grown to become an authority on incidents of piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia. Speaking at the signing of the new headquarters agreement earlier today, Singapore transport minister Lui Tuck Yew said: “This new headquarters agreement will enable the ReCAAP ISC to strengthen its partnership with government and industry towards safe and secure shipping in Asia.”
The latest agreement shows regional governments’ continued support and commitment and gives “added opportunities for strengthening co-operation towards ensuring safe and secure waterways for international shipping in Asia”, said Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore chief executive Lam Yi Young.
