their shared commitment to protect maritime and sea-lane security. The use of
cooperative efforts rather than individual efforts is going to be the key to success
in encountering these non-traditional challenges at sea. The solution must also

countries with other maritime stakeholders, regions, and finally the entire globe.

In this contemporary maritime domain, the mission of the navy has
become more multifaceted and complex than ever before. Overcoming non-
traditional threat at sea was the key stage for many dramas in the history of
mankind. It is evident that it will remain the same in the future as well with
growing situations. Therefore, the concepts of maritime strategies toward a
collaborative approach should also progress congruently to the advance of new
encounters at sea.
“Our connection to the Ocean is very personal. Our lives, cultures, and
economies are inherently shaped by the ocean as a provider and a protector. It is
our home, our lifeline”
