Ocean voyage security
Maritime safety encompasses practices, regulations, and systems designed to protect vessels, crews, passengers, and cargo at sea.
It covers ship construction standards, navigation protocols, crew training, emergency procedures, and environmental protections.
International bodies like the International Maritime Organization establish conventions governing everything from lifeboats to distress signals: Maritime safety regulations require ships to carry emergency beacons.
