This recommendation is not accepted in its current form.

As explained in our letter of 21 April to the Commission, the Maritime Safety Authority would accept a recommendation which required MSA to 'continue to consult with industry over the use of alcohol and drugs on ships with the objective of developing a generic drug and alcohol policy, supported by appropriate legislative frame work for the transport sector'.
