Coast Guard Capability Conference 2025

Augmenting Coast Guard Capabilities through enhanced Cooperation & Technology Adoption

The Coast Guard Capability returns in 2025, providing coastguards with a platform to share best practices and solutions in their primary tasks of coordinating search and rescue operations, monitoring shipping organising pollution clean ups around the coastline.

The role of coastguards is expansive and requires that they work alongside other agencies to tackle illegal smuggling of drugs, weapons, wildlife, and human beings, illegal immigration, IUU fishing and more. The importance of a nation’s coast guard in boosting its blue economy also cannot be overstated. With representation from across coast guards, navies, interagency bodies, border forces, police and maritime security agencies and an international speaker line up speaking to the biggest challenges and concerns, the 2025 edition of this event promises to explore how these bodies are working together to achieve the shared goal of maritime security.

With newer threats to maritime infrastructure and security emerging (including attacks on underwater cables, the use of drones for nefarious activities). It is important be aware of the latest technologies being used to counter these threats. With the key challenges of tight budgets, limited human resource, training difficulties, and interagency competition and lack of collaboration, it is more important now than it has ever been for these organisations have a forum where the biggest challenges are tackled head on.  

Coast Guard Capability 2025 brings together stakeholders from across the maritime security ecosystem from across all continents of the globe in a collaborative forum, designed to aid in addressing each nation’s specific coastal needs and help foster interagency and international collaboration.
