GMC (General Maritime Convention)

The General Maritime Convention (GMC) is an international agreement that sets standards for safety, security, and environmental protection in the shipping industry. It provides guidelines for ship construction, operation, crew training, and safety procedures to ensure ships are safe and crews are well-prepared. By adhering to GMC standards, countries and shipping companies help prevent accidents, protect the seas from pollution, and promote responsible maritime practices. Essentially, it serves as a global framework to promote safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly maritime operations.
