Through their extensive expertise and services, INTLREG contributes significantly to enhancing the standards and regulatory framework within the maritime industry.

One of the primary ways INTLREG adds value is by helping maritime administrations establish and maintain high levels of compliance with international maritime conventions and regulations. This includes ensuring that vessels registered under the administration’s flag meet or exceed the safety, security, and environmental standards set forth in conventions like SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), MARPOL (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships), and the ISM (International Safety Management) Code. This not only enhances the reputation of the maritime administration but also contributes to the overall safety and sustainability of the global maritime sector.

INTLREG also provides technical support and expertise to maritime administrations. They offer guidance on ship classification, surveys, inspections, and the implementation of best practices. This support enables administrations to carry out their regulatory and oversight functions more effectively.

Moreover, INTLREG’s training programs and capacity-building initiatives empower the personnel of maritime administrations with the knowledge and skills needed to enforce regulations efficiently and transparently.

In summary, INTLREG’s partnership with maritime administrations fosters a culture of continuous improvement, leading to higher standards of quality and compliance within the maritime industry. This, in turn, enhances safety, environmental protection, and the reputation of the administrations involved.
