Course Details

Within the expansive realm of maritime operations, where the preservation of aquatic ecosystems and the safety of marine professionals rank as foremost concerns, marine accidents present substantial challenges. Such incidents encompass an array of possibilities, including harm to ship structures and equipment or interferences with the smooth execution of maritime operations. Marine accidents have significant consequences that go beyond the initial damage and affect human health and the ecological integrity of our oceans.
