The Directorate General of Shipping, in collaboration with the Captain of Ports Department and the Government of Goa, convened the Goa Coastal State Workshop – Charting the Maritime Future of India’s Coastal States on 2nd March 2026. During the Workshop, a dedicated session on Pillar I – Maritime Safety & Emergency Response featured a detailed presentation by Capt. Anish Joseph, Deputy Nautical Advisor-cum-Senior Deputy Director General (Technical), Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, Government of India, focusing on the Maritime Casualty Legal Advisory framework and the critical role of Coastal States and Ports in disaster preparedness. The session emphasised the importance of clear legal pathways, defined jurisdictional responsibilities, and proactive coordination mechanisms to ensure timely response, effective casualty management, and strengthened coastal resilience. India’s updated maritime legal framework — including the Merchant Shipping Act, 2025, Indian Ports Act, 2025, Coastal Shipping Act, 2025, and the draft Carriage of Goods by Sea Bill, 2025 — provides a harmonised regime governing casualty response, wreck removal, pollution liability, and compulsory insurance enforcement. The session highlighted how the Coastal State Advisory translates these statutory reforms into actionable protocols for State authorities, Maritime Boards, Ports, SDMAs, and Pollution Control Boards. Key measures include mandatory 24-hour casualty reporting via DG Comm and MRCCs, structured inter-agency coordination, and insurance-backed safeguards ensuring liability for pollution, collision, or wreck removal rests with shipowners, not State Governments. It further underscored the critical frontline role of ports in maintaining emergency towage readiness, cyclone preparedness, Port of Refuge planning, and rapid clearances for salvors — equipping Coastal States with a robust, enforceable framework to manage marine casualties efficiently while protecting the environment and reducing financial exposure. #GoaCoastalWorkshop #DGShipping #MaritimeSafety #LegalAdvisory #DisasterPreparedness #PortReadiness #MarineIncidentResponse #CoastalResilience #MoPSW
