Cooperation with Operation ACTIVE ENDEAVOUR units provides for the safe and secure movement of vessels at sea and reduces the time spent on inspections. Any suspicious behavior at sea might be considered as a potential indication of illegal or terrorist activity. All hailings and boardings are conducted in accordance with the rules of international law and the agreement of the vessel’s Flag state and ship’s Master.
