In the context of the Black and Caspian Sea regions Project, EMSA carried out Training on Monitoring of Recognised Organisations (ROs) for the Project’s beneficiary countries Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Ukraine. The event took place on 10 – 11 April 2018 at the EMSA premises in Lisbon and provided the participants with an overview of the IMO Code for Recognized Organizations (RO Code) together with EMSA experience in monitoring of recognised organisations. The expertise of the Swedish Transport Agency in monitoring of ROs was also shared through a guest speaker. In addition, the event enriched the training environment with a number of practical scenarios on authorisation and oversight of recognised organisations based on EMSA’s as well as member state’s experience. The comprehensive case scenarios highly raised the interest of the participants and actively involved all of them into fruitful discussions.
