The Indian Ocean MOU (its Member Authorities, the Secretariat and IOCIS Manager) will not be held liable for any loss, damage, or harm resulting from the use of information contained in this database, or of any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or timeliness, although, every effort is being made to provide accurate data.
