The American Maritime Safety Act

The American Maritime Safety Act is a federal law aimed at enhancing safety for maritime workers and vessels in U.S. waters. It establishes regulations and standards for ship inspections, crew training, and operational practices to prevent accidents and improve safety conditions. The act also promotes better safety measures for specific activities, like oil and gas operations at sea. By enforcing these rules, the law seeks to protect both the lives of maritime workers and the environment from maritime accidents or disasters.
