Safety
When things go wrong…
Small or massive fires, flooding that will cause such a list that the vessel will capsize and be wrecked, collisions, groundings, acts of piracy, persons overboard, injuries and casualties, major environmental pollutions, minor damages or damages beyond repair are mishap, incidents, accident or disaster will inevitably have consequences for the vessel and cargo, her crew and the environment. These consequences may range from catastrophic to minor.
When there is a total loss of ship and/or cargo, loss of lives, or a widespread and sever environmental damage, we speak of catastrophic consequences. When there is sever damage to ship and/or cargo, when seriously injured persons require hospitalization, or when there is severe environmental damage, we speak of major consequences.
When there is significant damage to ship and/or cargo, when injured persons require medical attention, when there is significant local damage to the environment, we speak of moderate consequences.When there is minor damage to ship and/or cargo, when persons are suffering from minor injuries that do not require medical attention, or when there is hardly any environmental damage, we speak of minor consequencesthat are negligible.
Safety -factors
The safety of passengers and crew, ship and cargo is determined by both internal and external factors, but most of all by the Human Factor.
The internal factors (I.F.)that may influence safety are: the ship’s dimensions and draft, her rudder, propulsion system and navigation instruments.
The external factors (E.F.)are formed by weather conditions, currents and tides, characteristics of fairways and unforeseen events. In documents the term “Act of God” indicates that the shipowner will not be held responsible for damage caused by natural disasters.
Good seamanship refers to The Human Factor (H.F.)and depends on the quality of the seafarers on board. And because most vessels have been manned with multi-lingual crews, special attention should be paid to the introduction of the internationally standardizes form of maritime communication on every ship in the world.
