Abstract.
The maritime industry is essential in global trade, with over 11 billion tonnes of goods transported annually by more than 50,000 merchant vessels. Despite rapid technological advancements, maritime security operations continue to face persistent challenges such as fragmented command structures, weak inter-agency coordination, outdated systems, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This study applies a qualitative content analysis to examine how interoperable technologies, specifically the Maritime Interoperability Management System (MIMS S2), Universal Link System (ULS), and System Interoperability Kodal, enhance operational effectiveness and situational awareness. Drawing from official product documentation, defence interoperability reports, and regional case studies, the findings reveal how integrated command and control systems improve real-time data sharing, strengthen joint operations, and support both military and civilian maritime agencies. The study also highlights the importance of long-term capacity building, demonstrating that the combination of advanced technologies and institutional readiness forms a scalable model for managing contemporary maritime security challenges.
