Essential Marine Safety Standards for Global Shipping in 2026
As we move through 2026, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has tightened regulations regarding vessel safety and environmental impact. For global fleet managers, staying ahead of these standards is critical for both safety and avoiding heavy port state control fines.
2026 Safety Equipment Checklist:
Life-Saving Appliances (LSA): Ensure all life rafts and lifejackets meet the latest SOLAS amendments regarding fire-retardant materials.
Fire Protection: Verify that fixed fire-extinguishing systems have been inspected within the last six months and that sensors are calibrated.
Digital Navigation: Redundancy in ECDIS systems is now a primary focus during inspections.
Marine Environment Protection: Updated oil-water separator monitoring systems are now mandatory for many vessel classes.
