In brief

The alliance's permanently manned point of contact with the merchant shipping community, part of Allied Maritime Command and co-located with it at Northwood. Its own search-visible description calls it the primary point of contact for the exchange of merchant-shipping information between NATO's military authorities and the international shipping industry; its site is closed to tools, so nothing beyond that description is carried.
