Maritime Safety Committee (MSC)

The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is a key body of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is a United Nations agency focused on maritime safety and security. The MSC develops regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety of ships and protection of the marine environment. It addresses issues like navigation, ship design, and emergency response, and brings together member states, industry stakeholders, and experts to improve safety standards at sea. Its work helps prevent maritime accidents and reduces risks to both people and the environment.
