What is Maritime Security Agency and What Purpose it Performs

The Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) is operationally tasked with conducting the maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the Pakistan military branches having the maritime law enforcement mission (with jurisdiction in both domestic and international waters). The Pakistan Maritime Security Agency operates under the Ministry of Defence (MoD) during peacetime, but it can be transferred to Pakistan Navy by the governmental orders during the time of war.

Adopting the genesis of the UN Convention on Law of the Sea in 1982, the agency was established in 1987 and gained its constitutional status in 1994. The agency's roles and extends the area of responsibility by protecting the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Pakistan which is up to 200 nautical miles (370 km) in the International waters, and operations in deep sea (including Search and Rescue) maritime safety, security, and stewardship. The agency's executive officer is designated as Director-General (DG) and holds a two-star rank, a Rear-Admiral in the Navy.

What do you mean by New High Risk Area Limits?

 

[Penguin]

The area with a high risk of piracy.

High Risk Areas for piracy (HRA) have been declared in different parts of the world to reflect precautions to be taken when ships transit them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_in_the_Strait_of_Hormuz

Over time this particular area has shrunk (hence new versus old area) but while Pakistan's EEZ is outside the new (shrunk) high risk area, the EEZ extension granted Pakistan by UN goes right into the new (shrunk) high risk area.Top right corner (Arabian Sea)

Maritime Patrol Vessels
KS&EW is indigenously constructing two Maritime Patrol Vessels (MPVs) for PMSA of 600 and 1500 tons displacement. First steel of both vessels has been cut, while keel of 600 tons MPV has been laid. The 600 tons MPV is scheduled to be delivered by April 2018 while the 1500 tons MPV will be completed by February 2019.

These MPVs will have the capability to operate independently or as part of a composite force in coastal and deep sea areas. MPVs will be utilized for different roles including Maritime SecurityOperations, Patrolling and Policing Operations against Asymmetric Threats, Surveillance of EEZ, Pollution Control, Disaster Relief and Intelligence gathering.

600 Tons MPV is 68 m long and has a maximum breath of 8.7 m. Propelled by four engines, the vessel has a top speed of 27 Knots while 1500 Tons MPV is 95 m long and has a maximum breath of 11 m. Propelled by two engines, the vessel has a top speed of 26 Knots.

A strong navy is the future of Pakistan. The battle will be at sea when Indians will get some slaps on Aerial and land fronts. Arrival of Chinese ships at Gwadar and our own plan to procure new vessels is a good step ahead.

Local production is always conducive to cost control and efficiency increase.
