Recital 14
(14) As regards maritime safety, the Agency should develop a proactive approach in determining safety risks and challenges for any type and size of vessel on the basis of which it should present to the Commission every three years a report on the progress on maritime safety. When the Agency states in a report the need for new safety standards, the implementation of these new requirements should be accelerated in order to avoid long delays between the official recognition of the issue and the impact on the vessels. Moreover, the Agency should continue assisting the Commission and the Member States in the implementation of the relevant Union legislation, especially in the areas of flag and port State obligations, the accident investigation of marine accidents, the passenger ship safety legislation, Recognised Organisations and marine equipment. Finally, the Agency should have a proactive role in assisting the deployment of maritime autonomous and automated surface ships while also it is important to collect further data in the area of the training and certification for seafarers and the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006). Finally, the Agency should work towards the mutual recognition of fishers and seafarers training and safety certificates in order to increase the cooperation between member States and the free movement of the workforce.
