Today is World Maritime Day.
The current world aspires to safe, clean and efficient shipping. Assessment of new risks from shipping decarbonization, digitalization and automation and formulation of goal-based regulations matter to global shipping industry which has entered a period of epochal changes.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set the theme of the World Maritime Day for 2024 as ''Navigating the future: Safety first!''
A member state of IMO, the DPRK has faithfully implemented the safety-related international agreements.
In 1985, the DPRK acceded to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, and took appropriate actions to transpose this treaty into its legislation for updating.
In 2024, eighteen resolutions adopted at the 107th session of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee were timely incorporated into its national legislation, followed by studies to enshrine the resolutions at the 108th session of the Committee in its legislation.
In parallel, various norms of ship inspection systems including the statutory surveys are in place to ensure that the IMO instruments are fully enforced and efforts are made to develop the electronic system of maritime instruments control with a view to digitalization of shipping.
As a result, a new generation of e-chart conversion programme came out in April. This programme was successfully applied on a trial basis to convert eight kinds of local e-charts to meet S-101 standard, which proved its accuracy.
The Maritime Administration of the DPRK in cooperation with other relevant organizations takes practical and comprehensive measures for maritime safety.
