It is part of Pakistan Navy's greater efforts to jump start Maritime Sector in Pakistan. MCE has been established to act as an intellectual fountainhead on Maritime matters with focus on Maritime Security and Blue Economy while concurrently, rendering input to policy makers for promoting Maritime sector in-country and abroad and preparing Naval leadership for contemporary Maritime challenges.
Headed by a serving two star officer who acts as the centre's President, MCE functions under a binary set up.
