-This is an AI generated translation of the text in Icelandic. If there is any difference between the Icelandic and the English text, the Icelandic version is valid.

The Icelandic Transport Authority shall be responsible for the implementation of the plan and the Maritime Council shall monitor its progress and promote cooperation between the parties concerned.

The programme is divided into four categories of projects:

  • Mariners education and training

  • Educational material and dissemination of information

  • Security management

  • Research and development projects

Special emphasis is placed on winning over the results of research on marine casualties so that the lessons learned from them will be incorporated into the safety regulations of seafarers. Environmental projects are also underway, which are emphasised and defined in the transport plan each time.
