| POLITICAL
BODIES
This section is a window on the shipping world
from the viewpoint of national and foreign political bodies for
which this section has been specifically created. There
are many different bodies in charge of the sea or shipping, from
City Councils to Provincial or Regional Councils, from Parliamentary
Committees to Ministries, from Harbour’s Master’s
Offices to Port Authorities, from the European Union to international
agencies.
The STIMA Project has given its contribution
by offering guidance through the wide sea of information that
is all around – laws, provisions, European directives,
treaties – as well as law bills and regulations, and
by offering easy access to links to some major web sites of the
bodies and agencies that are in charge of international and EU
policies regarding safe shipping and ships, flag state control,
port state control, crew training.
