Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness

The Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness (OGMSA) is a United States interagency office with a global reach tasked with enhancing global maritime domain awareness. OGMSA acts as a catalyst for and among all entities in the public and private sectors with maritime interests to develop an information sharing environment. Within this environment, partners can embrace and achieve the common objective of obtaining and sharing information as a mechanism to increase safety, security and economic prosperity in the maritime domain and have the supporting architecture to do so.

The goal is not for OGMSA to own the data or control the processes. Rather, OGMSA facilitates the identification and resolution of information sharing barriers. The focus of OGMSA is interagency coordination within U.S. federal, state and local governments, increased international cooperation and improved commercial cooperation – all to facilitate seamless maritime information sharing. OGMSA identifies the data owners and the information they can contribute, demonstrates how participation will be beneficial, resolves barriers to participation, and fosters development of the architecture, protocols and policies to make maritime information information available and searchable.

Mission and Vision

Mission: The mission of the Office of Global Maritime Situational Awareness is to facilitate the creation of a collaborative global maritime information-sharing environment through unity of effort across entities with maritime interests to increase the discoverability and share-ability of maritime information relevant to those engaged in managing safety, security, the environment and commerce.

Vision: A worldwide maritime information exchange to facilitate user-defined decision making. OGMSA seeks to include organizations worldwide, inside and outside governments, who can use maritime information to make decisions to prevent terrorism, piracy and trafficking, to ensure the free flow of legitimate commerce, to improve the efficiency of vessel and intermodal traffic management, to eliminate redundant government queries, to protect the environment, and to keep mariners safe.
