Abstract:
|
This paper presents the findings of a research project on the Maritime Safety
Management System (MSMS) conducted at the Australian Maritime College
(AMC) in 2004. The main objectives of this study are to identify key shorebased
and near shore activities associated with maritime operations that are
currently not covered by the ISM Code and players involved in these activities; to
explore and analyse important relationships among them which can affect the
management of safety; and to investigate the key safety issues within these
relationships and the risks related to these safety issues. Based on this
identification and analysis, the basic elements of a good maritime safety plan
are identified. This study applies a two-stage methodological approach, in
which a focus group discussion is utilized first to explore the initial ideas from
maritime experts, followed by a mail survey to reflect the perceptions of the
international shipping community. The findings of this study provide essential
insights to the formulation of such a global Maritime Safety Management
System for the sake of ‘safer ships and cleaner oceans’. |
