Italian Coast Guard is historically entrusted with the discipline and supervision of all maritime and port activities. It performs tasks related to the civil uses of the sea, protection of human life at sea, safety of navigation and maritime transport, as well as the protection of the marine environment, its ecosystems and the supervision of the entire maritime fisheries sector. In addition, Italian Coast Guard carries out inspections on national merchant vessels, fishing vessels and recreational vessels, including foreign merchant ships calling at national ports.
