The Maritime Safety Administration of the People's Republic of China (CMSA; Chinese: 中华人民共和国海事局) is a government agency of departmental grade (正司局级) under the Ministry of Transportation. The MSA administers all matters related to maritime and shipping safety, including the supervision of maritime traffic safety and security, prevention of pollution from ships, inspection of ships and offshore facilities, navigational safety measures (including Search and Rescue, Aids to Navigation and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System), administrative management of port operations, and law enforcement on matters of maritime safety law. It was also responsible for marine accident investigation. It is headquartered in Dongcheng District, Beijing.
History
In October 1998, it was formed by the merger of the China Ship Inspection Bureau and the China Port Supervision Bureau into a comprehensive agency of maritime affairs, subordinate to the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China.
The China MSA was the only maritime administrative agency that was not merged into the new China Coast Guard[4] in June 2013. The CMSA retains its safety and control ("traffic police") remit, while the new CCG concentrates all other law enforcement and policing duties.
The CMSA protects its neutrality as a safety agency quite jealously. It is a completely civilian agency, its vessels are unarmed, and it has never been involved in any of the maritime border controversies that are usually engaged by the CCG and the Maritime Militia.
