Издание на английском языке
The publication examines the serious consequences of accidents on ships, including physical pain for those affected and economic losses for shipowners, such as delays in operations and loss of income. It highlights that many unsafe activities on board occur due to a lack of compliance with procedures, poor preparation, stress, and insufficient communication, which is often a consequence of ineffective safety management. Various protection mechanisms are used to reduce risks, including security management systems and physical equipment. The publication also highlights important international and national codes and regulations, such as the ISM Code, which requires the implementation of safety management systems, and other guidelines aimed at improving safety standards in shipping.
