The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) welcomes the World Maritime University’s report which provides evidence for concerns the United Kingdom has raised about the risk of fatigue on board ships at the International Maritime Organization over the last ten years. The MCA is considering its response to the recommendations, including how they might be implemented (or where measures are already in place, implementation may be improved) within the United Kingdom, within the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control and internationally (at the International Maritime Organization and International Labour Organization).
