Shipping Safety Standards

Shipping safety standards are a set of regulations designed to ensure the safe transport of goods and passengers by sea. They cover aspects like vessel construction, crew training, cargo management, and operational procedures to prevent accidents and protect the environment. These standards are established by organizations such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and are applied internationally. Adhering to these guidelines helps minimize risks like capsizing, fire, or pollution, ensuring that maritime transportation remains safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible for everyone involved.
