In the world of maritime safety and environmental protection, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has taken significant strides to establish comprehensive technical regulations and standards. These regulations encompass the construction, equipment, manning, and operation of ships, with the overarching goal of enhancing safety at sea and reducing the ecological footprint of shipping activities.
Crucially, the responsibility for ensuring ships' compliance with these vital standards primarily rests with the Flag States. In this pivotal role, Flag States play a central part in safeguarding the seas, securing maritime safety, and preserving our marine environment.
Our course is designed to equip the participants with the knowledge and tools needed to fulfill this crucial responsibility. We will focus on supporting maritime administrations to develop and enact the necessary legislation, establish efficient national procedures, and enhance their ability to carry out their obligations effectively.
Furthermore, we will delve into the intricacies of exercising Flag State jurisdiction in accordance with relevant international instruments, a key component in contributing to the overarching goal – the improvement of maritime safety, security, and marine pollution prevention.
