International Maritime Codes and Conventions: Understanding Maritime Regulations and Compliance
International shipping operates within a complex web of codes, regulations and conventions that govern everything from ship construction and crew training through to security, cargo handling and environmental protection. For maritime and offshore professionals responsible for ensuring vessels and organisations meet their legal obligations, a detailed understanding of international maritime conventions and how they are implemented in practice is an essential career foundation.
This certificate gives maritime and offshore industry professionals a practical understanding of maritime codes and conventions. They will work through the international legal framework from maritime governance and ship design requirements through to navigation, manning and training under STCW, safety and security obligations, and marine resource management.
