The roles of the ReCAAP ISC include exchanging information among Contracting Parties on incidents of piracy and armed robbery, facilitating operational cooperation among Contracting Parties, analysing the patterns and trends of piracy and armed robbery and supporting the capacity building efforts of Contracting Parties.

Each ReCAAP Contracting Party designates a Focal Point responsible for its communications with the ReCAAP ISC. The role of the ReCAAP Focal Point is to facilitate smooth and effective information sharing among the Focal Points and with the ReCAAP ISC.
