SAFEMED 3 project
EMSA has officially become the implementing body of the Commission’s technical assistance project for the Mediterranean Sea in the area of maritime safety, security and pollution prevention. The beneficiary countries of the SAFEMED 3 project are: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia. This project will run between mid-2013 and mid-2016.
The SAFEMED 3 project, which builds on the results of the previous two projects, has the overall objective of improving the protection of the M e d i t e r r a n e a n Sea marine environment against the risk of accidents at sea and marine pollution. It will do this by supporting the ratification and implementation of international maritime safety and security conventions, as well as by improving the relevant capacities and level of quality of maritime administrations in the Mediterranean partner countries.

The SafeMed Project is a response to the interest of the European Union (EU) to develop Euro-Mediterranean co-operation in the field of maritime safety and security, prevention of pollution from ships and marine environmental issues by providing technical advice and support to the non-EU Mediterranean countries identified in the 1995 Barcelona Process.
