- To have a quality human resource capable of equipping the various maritime centres, assuming the functions of directing and coordinating actions at sea and in the coastal zone, in the fields of security and safety, on behalf of their States or supranational organisations.
- Provide managers and agents, from the various components included or peripheral to the public maritime sector, with a common set of skills, necessary for a broader understanding of the issues and for collaborative work.
- Promote the validation of the experience acquired by some people for the benefit of a wider community and cross-fertilize these experiences, with the aim of mutual enrichment.
- To provide concrete and effective bases for day-to-day cooperation, but also in the management of marine events, at national and multinational levels.
