With a dedicated mission to enhance the EU's maritime policies, EMSA serves as a vital entity, offering technical expertise, operational assistance, and fostering collaboration among EU Member States. Working closely with the EU institutions, Member States and key stakeholders, EMSA contributes significantly to building a safer, more secure, and environmentally sustainable maritime sector. EMSA's commitment extends beyond its role as a service provider to Member States and the European Commission; it positions itself as an innovative and reliable partner and knowledge hub within the European maritime cluster and beyond.
