Flag State Safety Inspections

Flag State Safety Inspections course provides an in-depth look at the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention, a critical maritime safety standard enforced for over 50 years. SOLAS mandates strict safety and survival policies for shipbuilding, certification, and crew safety management. It places significant responsibility on the shipping industry to ensure the safety of vessels, cargo, and onboard crew members.

Designed for Flag State Control Officers (FSCOs) worldwide, this course offers essential technical knowledge and practical skills necessary for conducting shipboard safety inspections. The curriculum emphasises the requirements and challenges of these inspections, focusing on the best methodologies for conducting statutory surveys and inspections. This is particularly vital in the context of issuing or renewing SOLAS-related certificates.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of SOLAS requirements, enhancing their ability to ensure the highest safety standards in the maritime industry.
