UK Parliament: Q&A On Ship Register
The Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority [BSMA] were audited and ”found to be satisfactorily discharging their obligations under international maritime conventions including the Maritime Labour Convention.”
During a recent session in the British Parliament, Mick Whitley, Member of the Labour Party, asked, “To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the Bermudian Ship Register’s compliance with core international maritime and labour conventions.”
Guy Opperman, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Roads and Local Transport, said, “Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority [BSMA] were audited by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency [MCA] in July 2023 to assess compliance with the mandatory International Maritime Organization [IMO] Instruments Implementation Code and UK Secretary of State for Transport’s general superintendency over all British shipping matters. These are routine and regular audits.
“BSMA had areas of ongoing minor actions in the context of continuous improvement but were found to be satisfactorily discharging their obligations under international maritime conventions including the Maritime Labour Convention.”
