IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC)

The IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is a key global body responsible for establishing and updating international safety standards for ships and maritime navigation. It develops regulations to prevent accidents, protect crew and passengers, and ensure ships are built and operated safely. The MSC’s work covers areas such as ship design, safety equipment, navigation procedures, and training requirements. By fostering uniform safety practices worldwide, the MSC helps reduce maritime risks, enhance safety at sea, and facilitate international trade through reliable and secure shipping operations.
