ABSTRACT
In different organizations, involved in safety of life at sea, aspects of navigating a vessel from port to port are discussed. The importance of navigation is highlighted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in the “Safety Of Life at Sea” (SOLAS) regulation, especially in chapter V. The discussion on safety of navigation is key to the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC). Because MSC realized this important aspect of SOLAS, it created the “Safety of Navigation” Sub-Committee (NAV) focusing on exactly this.
