De koopvaardij of handels(scheep)vaart is de handel met behulp van schepen. Enkele belangrijke elementen hierbij zijn de zeebrief, het STCW, het bunkeroliecertificaat, het CLC-verdrag en het LRIT-systeem. Via bovenstaande links kunt u hierover meer informatie bekomen.

Hieronder vindt u alle circulaires van het Belgian Maritime Inspectorate (BMI), alsook een officiële lijst van de Belgische Zeeschepen en van de Vloot van de Marine en de work matrix.
