Administrative / biographical background

On 1 April 1994 the Surveyor General's Organisation of the Department of Transport's Marine Directorate was renamed the Marine Safety Agency (MSA) and became an executive agency of the department.

The agency is responsible for implementing the government's strategy to ensure high standards of marine safety and to minimise the risk of pollution from ships.

A Chief Executive was appointed in 1994. He was supported by a management board comprising four divisional directors responsible for: Ship Construction and Navigation; Marine Engineering, Equipment and Pollution Prevention; Operations and Seafarers' Standards; and Finance and Corporate Services

On 1 April 1995, the first two divisions were merged to form the Marine and Safety Standards Division and a non-executive director joined the agency's board in September 1995

Some Common services are shared with the Coast Guard Agency.
