marine engineering standards

Marine engineering standards are guidelines and specifications aimed at ensuring the safety, reliability, and efficiency of ships and marine systems. These standards cover the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and equipment, addressing aspects like materials, safety protocols, and environmental protection. Organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and various classification societies develop these standards to promote best practices and compliance with regulations, ultimately protecting both the crew and the marine environment while facilitating international maritime trade.
