Ship Safety Inspections in Syria
Syria’s strategic location along the eastern Mediterranean is vital to regional maritime trade and logistics. With major ports such as Baniyas, Latakia, and Tartous playing pivotal roles in import/export activities, ensuring maritime safety has never been more crucial. Vessels operating in these waters must meet strict international safety standards to protect lives, cargo, and the marine environment.
The Importance of Ship Safety Inspections in Syrian Waters
Regular safety inspections are critical for identifying operational risks and ensuring that vessels are fully compliant with international conventions, including those set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) framework. These inspections also help reduce downtime, prevent accidents, and ensure smooth port state control (PSC) inspections at Syrian ports.
