Maritime

The Maritime subcommittee supports efforts for full Maritime Subcommittee Awareness: "the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime subcommittee that could impact the United States’ security, safety, economy, or environment." Such an understanding is possible only with the effective, timely sharing of vital, secure information among many key partners.

Mission

The Maritime subcommittee supports the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime realm that could impact the United States' security, safety, economy, or environment. NIEM facilitates this understanding through effective, timely sharing of vital, secure information among many key partners by representing vessels, people, cargo, and maritime locations and activities.

Governance

The U.S. Navy and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are currently partnering to sponsor the Maritime subcommittee and maintain the exchange model. Other federal agencies, as well as local and state law enforcement agencies in port cities and coastal regions, are also stakeholders in managing this subcommittee.
