Virtual Roundtable: The ISM Code at the Heart of the Blue Economy
The Organisation of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) is hosting a virtual roundtable on the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and its crucial role in the blue economy.
A Key Issue for International Maritime Trade
Maritime transport is a fundamental pillar of global trade. Its proper management directly impacts employment, the environment, natural resources, and the social stability of nations. In this context, the effective implementation of the ISM Code (International Safety Management) becomes a major challenge for member states.

- Managing non-compliance with the ISM Code
The event will take place entirely online with simultaneous French/English translation, ensuring maximum accessibility for all participants.
Seasoned Experts Sharing Their Experience
The OACPS has brought together international practitioners with over 20 years of experience in the field. Their expertise and willingness to share knowledge will provide valuable insights into current challenges in the maritime sector.

- Maritime control officials
