The long-range identification and tracking (LRIT) of ships aims to enhance security for government authorities. LRIT provides ship identity and current location information in sufficient time for a government to evaluate the security risk posed by a ship off its coast and to respond, if necessary, to reduce the risk.

LRIT Cooperative Data Centre
The objective of the EU LRIT CDC is to identify and track EU flagged vessels worldwide and integrate them into the wider international Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system.
The system was initially set up for the purposes of maritime security, but was soon extended for use in areas such as Search and Rescue (SAR), maritime safety and protection of the marine environment. Ships send automatic position reports every 6 hours, which are received by satellite, and securely transferred to data centres which manage LRIT information on behalf of flag States.
The European Union Cooperative Data Centre (EU LRIT CDC) disseminates LRIT information on EU-flagged ships around the world on behalf of all European flag States, and exchanges information

Fatigue
At its 18th session in November 1993, the IMO Assembly adopted resolution A.772(18) on fatigue factors in manning and safety. The resolution recognizes that there is no universally accepted definition of fatigue but draws the attention of all parties involved in ship operations to the factors which can contribute to fatigue including, but not limited to, those listed below and to take them into account when making decisions on ship operations.
Guidance on Fatigue Mitigation and Management
To assist in the development of a maritime safety culture by addressing the issue of fatigue, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed practical guidance to assist interested parties to better understand and manage the issue of “fatigue.”

The safety and security of life at sea, protection of the marine environment and over 90% of the world's trade depends on the professionalism and competence of seafarers.
The IMO's International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), 1978 was the first internationally-agreed Convention to address the issue of minimum standards of competence for seafarers. In 1995 the STCW Convention was completely revised and updated to clarify the standards of competence required and provide effective mechanisms for enforcement of its provisions.
A comprehensive review of the STCW Convention and the STCW Code commenced in January 2006, and culminated in a Conference of Parties to the STCW Convention which was held in Manila, Philippines from 21 to 25 June 2010, that adopted
