Shipping and Navigation Standards
Shipping and navigation standards are established rules and guidelines that ensure safe, efficient, and coordinated movement of vessels across waterways. They include regulations on navigation lights, signals, communication protocols, and vessel markings, helping mariners understand each other's intentions and avoid accidents. These standards also cover procedures for safe passage in shared or congested waters, environmental protection measures, and compliance with international agreements. By following these standards, ships can operate smoothly across different countries and regions, maintaining safety, security, and environmental responsibility at sea.
