IORIS, a secure web platform for information sharing, collaboration and incident management at sea is fully operational and utilised by 2 regional maritime centres (RMIFC & RCOC), 5 western Indian Ocean countries, and the membership is growing daily. The duplicate training platform is widely used and currently the primary communications tool for US Navy led Cutlass Express exercises in the region.
