ISSETA members are continuously monitoring and contributing to advancements within the industry.
They are actively represented at international organisations, such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the European Marine Safety Agency (EMSA), and the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and they maintain close communication with all major maritime organisations.
