The NATO Shipping Centre maintains a 24/7/365 oversight of security developments in the Euro-Atlantic area, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Black Sea. Shipowners are reminded of the Voluntary Reporting Scheme for the Mediterranean Sea.

Preferred reporting method is online via the Mediterranean Reporting Scheme – Format A . Alternatively, the forms can be downloaded, completed, and submitted either via email to info@shipping.nato.int or by fax to +44 (0) 1923-956-575.

In the event of any incident or suspicious activity, commercial vessels are requested to notify the NATO Shipping Centre immediately at:
