STCWyleissopimukseen

STCWyleissopimukseen refers to the general agreement concerning the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). This convention, adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1978 and significantly amended in 1995 and 2010, sets the minimum standards for training, certification, and watchkeeping for seafarers worldwide. The "yleissopimukseen" part of the phrase indicates a general or overarching agreement related to the implementation or adherence to these STCW standards. It implies a commitment by parties to uphold the principles and requirements of the convention, often within a national or regional context. This general agreement ensures that seafarers meet the necessary qualifications and competencies to perform their duties safely and efficiently, thereby enhancing maritime safety and environmental protection. The STCW Convention is a crucial instrument in international maritime law, and agreements related to it aim to facilitate its consistent application across different maritime administrations.
