maritime regulations

Maritime regulations are a set of laws and rules that govern activities on the water, ensuring safety, environmental protection, and fair trade. They cover various aspects, such as the operation of ships, navigation, shipping safety, pollution prevention, and the rights of workers at sea. These regulations are enforced by national and international bodies, like the International Maritime Organization (IMO), to promote safe and efficient shipping and protect marine environments. Compliance with these regulations helps prevent accidents, reduce maritime disputes, and ensures that the seas remain safe for everyone.
