In conjunction with the International Maritime Organization and regional and national regulatory bodies Maris supports the development of international conventions and global regulations that enhance the safe operation of vessels. We support global enforcement of conventions and regulations and encourage industry-wide acceptance of guidelines and recommendations. It is vital for Maris to offer product specific training to our customers in more than 40 countries as a leading ECDIS supplier.”
