marine safety
Seafaring hazard prevention
Marine safety encompasses the practices, regulations, equipment, and procedures designed to prevent accidents, injuries, and loss of life at sea or on navigable waterways.
It covers everything from vessel construction standards and navigation rules to emergency protocols, life-saving equipment requirements, and crew training.
Coast guards and maritime authorities worldwide enforce marine safety regulations for commercial shipping, fishing vessels, and recreational boats alike.
The ferry company upgraded its marine safety equipment after the inspection.
