Overview
The Navigation Safety and Radiocommunications division is responsible
for promoting and enhancing safety of navigation and radiocommunications for
the protection of life, property and the marine environment through the development,
implementation and maintenance of policies, regulations, standards, procedures
and other safety initiatives. The division's activities cover the complete
spectrum of vessels, including fishing vessels, recreational craft, cargo ships
and passenger ships.
The division also develops and administers regulations under the Canada
Shipping Act, 2001 and the Arctic
Waters Pollution Prevention Act relating to navigation
safety and radiocommunications.
Canadian stakeholders are provided an opportunity to comment and influence
key international and national initiatives through the Standing Committee on
Navigation and Operation of the Canadian
Marine Advisory Council. This
national Standing Committee is chaired by NSRC and meets twice per year.
