| Historically, marine accident has been an inseparable part of shipping. Majority of all recorded marine accidents are generally attributed to human error or associated with human error. Many individuals and organizations in the maritime field use risk management techniques to minimize the effect of human error. The main focus is to enhance safety and reduce human error through motivation, education and training, system design, rules and regulations. It has always been recognized that the best way of improving safety at sea is by developing international regulations that are followed by all shipping nations. Adopting proper regulations will definitely decrease human error and thus, maritime accidents. The main objective of this research was to analyze the violations of safety requirements adopted by international regulations, using the evidences from Iranian inspections. As such, the maritime safety issues are addressed and an outline of the safety regulations in the international seaborne trade is given. Also, the effects of international regulations on improving maritime safety in Iran, owner of one of the largest fleets, are evaluated through reviewing records of all maritime disasters, ships' deficiencies and their causes in Iranian territories since 2007 till 2009. |
