Safety legislation
Shipping is perhaps the most international of all the world's great industries - and one of the most dangerous. The best way of improving safety at sea is by developing international regulations that are followed by all shipping nations.

At present safety legislation is in place through the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the most important of all treaties dealing with maritime safety. For more information visit IMO, and select Safety. Please click the related links in the right column to access.
