Nautical Term: FSI
Definition of FSI
Flag State Implementation (FSI) refers to the specific measures and regulations adopted by a flag state to ensure compliance with international maritime conventions.
For instance, consider a large container ship flying the flag of State X. If State X fails to implement and enforce regulations on fire safety, structural integrity, and lifesaving appliances on board ships, then the container ship may pose a significant risk to the safety of navigation and the marine environment. In such a scenario, effective Flag State Implementation (FSI) becomes crucial to mitigate the risks associated with non-compliant shipping operations.
