Aims & Scope

Maritime Affairs publishes well researched and informative articles on issues related to the sea. Each issue presents studies and research material from across the globe on issues contextual to oceanic activity like ship-building, maritime security, port modernisation, disaster management, laws of the sea etc. Maritime Affairs aims to promote awareness and informed public debate on how important the oceans are and provide constructive inputs for policy formulation. It includes studies on international relations and geo-political factors of strategic importance so as to suggest confidence building measures for enhancing maritime cooperation amongst the sea faring nations for achieving a stable security environment in South Asia and the Asia Pacific. Maritime Affairs would be of immense interest to the entire spectrum of the maritime and strategic community.
