Fishing is widely considered as one of the world’s most dangerous occupations, which is reflected in the tens of thousands of accidents and fatalities of fishers annually. Over the last decades the Membership of IMO, ILO and FAO developed a framework of international fisheries instruments to improve safety and working and living conditions in fisheries and reduce the number of accidents and fatalities in the sector. The voluntary instruments have been developed and are being used actively by many States and stakeholders in the fisheries sector. In recent years the international legally binding framework on fisheries safety and decent working conditions was completed with the ILO Work in Fishing Convention (No. 188), FAO Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) and the IMO Cape Town Agreement, which is expected to enter into force shortly. The number of States ratifying and implementing these internationally binding instruments is increasing. However, in order to become truly effective tools to improve fisheries safety and working conditions, it is important that the minimum standards and requirements from these international instruments are adopted as widely as possible.
