Ships on Watch List by Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding Secretariat

Compliance with the Ships on Watch List by the Indian Ocean Memorandum of Understanding (IOMOU) Secretariat is vital to maintain maritime safety and security. These listings identify ships that may pose risks due to substandard practices, ensuring that ports and operators are aware of potential hazards. Adhering to these guidelines helps mitigate incidents at sea, protects the marine environment, and fosters a culture of accountability among shipowners and operators. Ultimately, compliance supports the integrity of global maritime trade and navigation.
