Maritime Safety and Security

Maritime safety and security involves protecting ships, crews, cargo, and the marine environment from accidents and intentional harm. This includes measures to prevent piracy, smuggling, and pollution, ensuring safe navigation and emergency response. Organizations and governments develop regulations and standards, like the International Maritime Organization (IMO), to promote safe practices at sea. Training for crew members, regular inspections, and technological advancements, like tracking systems, enhance safety. In essence, it's about ensuring that maritime activities are conducted safely, legally, and sustainably to protect lives, property, and nature on the world’s oceans and waterways.
