According to the German Basic Law (Constitution) the responsibility for safety, security and law enforcement in German marine waters is shared between a number of agencies and public authorities. The areas in charge are divided territorially as well as to different objectives, like fishery, ship security or border patrol. To integrate all these public services according to present requirements, the German Joint Emergency Reporting and Assessment Center Sea was established in 2005 as an intergovernmental agency of maritime related German federal and state agencies. The German Joint Emergency Reporting and Assessment Center uses the same building as the German Central Command for Maritime Emergencies (Havariekommando). All agencies still follow their designated tasks but the common center allows to share information easily and to coordinate resources fast and to good economical results.
