Mediterranean MoU

The Mediterranean MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) is a collaborative agreement among countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea to enhance maritime safety and environmental protection. It focuses on Port State Control, which involves inspecting foreign ships in port to ensure they comply with international safety and environmental standards. By working together, participating countries aim to improve the quality of shipping and reduce issues like pollution or unsafe vessels, thereby protecting both the sea and the communities that depend on it.
