Maritime Safety Authorities

Maritime Safety Authorities are government agencies responsible for regulating and overseeing the safety of ships, crews, and maritime operations within a country’s waters. They enforce international and national safety standards, conduct inspections, issue certifications, and respond to maritime emergencies. Their goal is to prevent accidents, protect life at sea, and ensure safe navigation, environmental protection, and compliance with maritime laws. Essentially, they act as the guardians of maritime safety, maintaining order and safety in the complex and vital domain of international shipping and navigation.
