The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is a key part of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), responsible for creating and updating international standards to ensure the safety of ships, their crews, and the passengers they carry. It develops regulations on ship design, construction, equipment, and operations to prevent accidents and protect the environment. The MSC also promotes best practices and coordinates responses to maritime emergencies, facilitating global cooperation to maintain high safety standards in international shipping.
