Maritime Analysis and Information Centre

The Maritime Analysis and Information Centre appears in Taking the shine off: albedo and global temperatures through Paulo Silva, who discusses cocaine flows through West Africa. The source names it as an EU-linked maritime analysis body concerned with cocaine routes toward Europe.

The institution functions as the enforcement-side anchor for Maritime Drug Interdiction Capacity. The episode says cargo from countries such as Brazil and Suriname has come under more scrutiny, pushing traffickers toward more departure points and faster boats that are dangerous to intercept.
