Maritime Safety and Security Regulations

Maritime Safety and Security Regulations are rules designed to protect ships, crew, cargo, and the environment at sea. They set standards for equipment, navigation, communication, and emergency procedures to prevent accidents and respond effectively if they occur. These regulations also address security threats, such as terrorism or piracy, by implementing measures to control access and monitor activities. International organizations like the IMO (International Maritime Organization) establish these rules, which countries enforce through national laws, ensuring safe and secure maritime operations worldwide.
