The RMIFC, in its national vocation, adopts an inter-ministerial approach. All relevant ministries and organizations are required to draft procedure manuals called "SOPs" which govern the nature and form of information exchanges and cooperation with the RMIFC.

These state departments at the national level work with the CFIM on a permanent basis to feed the national database regarding their maritime affairs. These departments also sign a Memorandum of Understanding for the exchange and sharing of data with the CFIM.

• Inter-Ministerial Approach

  Representatives from various national ministries working in the maritime field collaborate within the center.

• National Liaison Officers

  A National Liaison Officer liaises between the CFIM and ministerial departments for CFIM products while remaining under hierarchical subordination of their departments.

• Permanent Staff Operations

  Day-to-day operations within the CFIM are carried out by permanent staff made available to the CFIM.
