International Convention on Standards of Training

The International Convention on Standards of Training sets global guidelines to ensure that maritime personnel, such as crew members and officers, are properly trained and qualified to operate ships safely and efficiently. It establishes consistent education, skills, and certification requirements across different countries, helping to promote safe navigation, reduce accidents, and protect the marine environment. By standardizing training practices, the convention facilitates international cooperation and ensures that crew members worldwide meet a high level of competency, regardless of their nationality or the ship’s origin.
