One third of global Oil & Gas is extracted from platforms at sea, the network of underwater pipelines & cables is a vital infrastructure of modern society, the 90% of trade moving by sea, thousands of ports and terminals along coastlines are vital to the supply chain, marine wind farms are growing rapidly boosting clean energy, fisheries feed the demands of an extremely rising population while tourism including cruises & super yachts is becoming a powerful development tool.

As far as we are talking about all kinds of business development in the marine environment of the Eastern Mediterranean, this requires a secure environment thus crucial to our economic stability, and certainly not threatened by any illegal activity.
