Maritime Safety Administration (MSA)

The Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) is a regulatory body responsible for ensuring safety in maritime activities, including shipping, fishing, and recreational boating. It develops and enforces rules to protect lives at sea and prevent accidents, such as collisions and environmental disasters. The MSA conducts inspections, provides training, and offers guidance on best practices for vessel operators and crew. Its goal is to promote safe navigation, protect marine resources, and enhance overall maritime safety for everyone who uses the waterways.
