Lieutenant Commander Rolerick Sobers, Regional Maritime Officer at RSS Headquarters, said that the meeting went “very well.” He was particularly pleased with the information sharing between the security forces of the RSS, as well as partners in the United States, who also participated in the meeting.

Anticipated outcomes are improved networking and coordination in executing operations and enhancing capacity within individual member states, as well as the RSS structure overall. Lt. Col. Sobers noted that involving various government maritime stakeholder agencies responsible for environmental protection, fisheries, and maritime area management etc in several conference sessions will help ensure a coordinated response to maritime emergencies.

Captain Kenish Garnett, Officer in Command of the St. Kitts-Nevis Defence Force Coast Guard Unit chaired the meeting. He indicated that local maritime security operations will be enhanced based on strategies shared at the two-day conference.

“The meeting attracted a unique set of maritime law enforcement experts from different backgrounds, and this provided an expanded look at emerging criminal trends and facilitated valuable intelligence sharing” he stated. “It also will help us to build out maritime networking channels and capabilities as we discussed ways to protect our individual borders from best practices shared by our regional and international partners.”

Captain Garnett added that new technology tools will also be deployed to strengthen maritime domain awareness and tactical response in our territorial waters.

The RSS Coast Guard Commanders’ Conference followed on the heels of the highly successful RSS Security Chiefs Meeting on October 08 and 09. The meeting was also held at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort.
