Thursday November 27th, the participants to the formation 'nautical chain management', organized by Portilog, visited Ostend. The Coast Guard secretaries provided them with a general overview of the Coast guard structure. Next on the agenda was the coast guard centre, consisting out of two operational centres that collaborate closely, namely the Maritime Rescue and Coordination Centre (MRCC) and the Belgian Maritime Security Centre (MIK). To conclude the visit, the participants were given the chance to visit the workfloor of the MRCC.
