Panel O-44, Marine Safety and Environmental Protection, was formed in 1994 under the
STOC banner from the former panel, Maritime Safety, of the same
designation. The new O-44 was established to address issues relating
to the safe carriage of passengers and cargo, and environmental
protection of our world's waterways. This Panel is well placed to
assess the impact of evolving technology on the marine
transportation system. Panel O-44 makes extensive use of working
groups, or sub-Panels, to focus on specialized problems of interest
to the Panel's members.
Following on the success of the first ad hoc panel structure, O-44
utilizes the world wide web and telecommunications advances,
to effectively use the valuable time of its members. For more
