Maritime Safety Committee

The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is a key body of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), responsible for ensuring the safety of ships and maritime transport. It develops regulations and guidelines to prevent maritime accidents, protect the environment, and enhance the safety of life at sea. The committee meets regularly to discuss issues like ship design, navigation standards, crew training, and emergency response. Its work helps create a safer maritime industry by establishing international standards that countries and ship operators can follow, ultimately aiming to reduce risks and protect both people and the marine environment.
