The European Maritime Safety Agency was created back in 2004 in response to disasters such as the ones involving the ferry Estonia or the tankers Erika or Prestige and I am very pleased to see it today as a well respected player, providing high value professional services to maritime transport and beyond.
Euroopa Meresõiduohutuse Amet loodi 2004. aastal ajendatuna suurõnnetustest, mis juhtusid parvlaevaga „Estonia” ning tankeritega „Erika” ja „Prestige”.
