Once branded “unsinkable”, the Royal Merchant Ship (RMS) Titanic went down after crashing
into an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City.

The ship was the largest afloat in the world at the time, and was built by ship makers Harland and
Wolff in Belfast.

The British passenger liner sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 14, 1912, killing more than
1,500 passengers and crew.

SOLAS Convention
(What is SOLAS?)
❑ The International Convention for the Safety of Life at
Sea (SOLAS) is an international maritime treaty which sets
minimum safety standards in the construction, equipment and
operation of merchant ships.

❑ The convention requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships

flagged by them comply with at least these standards.

❑ The current version of SOLAS is the 1974 version, known as

SOLAS 1974, which came into force on 25 May [Link] of
November 2018,

❑ SOLAS 1974 had 164 contracting states, which flag about 99% of
merchant ships around the world in terms of gross tonnage.

❑ SOLAS in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most

important of all international treaties concerning the safety of
merchant ships.

On 24 March 1989 - The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill occurred in Prince William Sound Alaska,

MULTIPLE FACTORS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS CONTRIBUTING TO THE INCIDENT

• Exxon Shipping Company failed to supervise the master and provide a rested and
sufficient crew for Exxon Valdez.
• The third mate failed to properly manoeuvre the vessel, possibly due to fatigue or
excessive workload.
• Exxon Shipping Company failed to properly maintain the Raytheon Collision Avoidance
System (RAYCAS) radar, the tanker's radar was left broken and disabled for more than a
year before the disaster, and Exxon management knew it. It was just too expensive to
fix and operate
• Captain Joseph Hazelwood, who was widely reported to have been drinking heavily
that night, was not at the controls when the ship struck the reef.
• The Third Mate, who was solely responsible for the Navigation Watch, did not plotted
position correctly, Vessel transiting at night

MULTIPLE FACTORS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS CONTRIBUTING TO THE INCIDENT

• Master was not on the bridge and had alcohol in his system
• The oil industry promised, but never installed, state-of-the-art iceberg monitoring
equipment.
• Exxon Valdez was sailing outside the normal sea lane to avoid small icebergs thought
to be in the area.
• The 1989 tanker crew was half the size of the 1977 crew, worked 12- to 14-hour shifts,
plus overtime. The crew was rushing to leave Valdez with a load of oil
• Coast Guard vessel inspections in Valdez were not performed, and the number of staff
was reduced.
• Lack of available equipment and personnel hampered the spill clean-up.

What caused so much casualty in the Fire Disaster of Car and Passenger Ferry MS Scandinavian
Star ?
• In an emergency situation, the crew who shall be responsible for the safety of passenger and
trained know how to handle the emergency is clearly that they did not know how to handle the
disaster on board the Scandinavian star.
• The Scandinavian star was rush into service as a fairy cruise ship and had only been in Scandinavian
waters for only 15 days Before that she was working as a Casino cruise ship with the different crew
more than 3400 miles away in Miami.
• The ship's Manager schedule just 10 days to convert the ship from a casino cruise ship to a
passenger ferry and train an almost completely new crew not nearly enough time.
• Not one single fired row / drill had been carried out
• Even worse they discover that many of the new crew didn't speak English or any of the
Scandinavian Languages so confusion in the multilingual crew is a problem from the very start of
the various journey when the catastrophe happens the crew organizations simply falls apart.
• No Clear emergency procedure to follow

• Fire alarm available but the only alarm sounded is on the bridge
• Laminated wall coating makes the fire spread faster
• The fire doors on the area where fire started, must be shut manually. Fire doors was not closed
during fire
• Lay out of the cabin and position of fire alarm not sufficient, emergency escape not clearly marked
and not properly designed. The passage mostly died trapped in cabin or lost in the interior
• The sound level of alarm is less than 57 decibels much quitter than inside a luxury car traveling at a

What if…??
• If the crew had been better prepared more passenger might have been evacuated
• If the Captain had responded effectively to the first arson attack the second fire might
have been caught sooner
• If some none had been on deck three to report the fire it never would have gained such
a deadly hold
• If there had been smoke well heat alarm in the passenger areas the fire could have
been caught when it was still small
• If the fire doors had been shut immediately the fire would have been trapped and
unable to spread
• If the alarm had been louder or the sleeping passengers would have been roused in the
rear of deck 5
• If the walls had been fitted with a fireproof lining that did not produce poisonous
smoke, people could have survived

(Flag State Control)
• Flag State is the state whose flag a vessel is entitled to fly.\

• Flag State Control is An enforcement of national and international

regulation and codes on board a nation’s ship, wherever they are, by
the flag state administration, ie the maritime department or agency of
the flagstate’s government.

• FlagState Control is not always applied effectively, so another means of

enforcement, ie port state control is necessary

(Port State Control)
• State is the nation state in whose port a vessel is for the time being.
For example, if a Malaysian Flagged Ship is in Indonesia, the
Indonesia is the Port State.

• Port State Control is an enforcement of international conventions

and codes by the administration of a port state visited by vessel of
any flag other than that of that port state. For example. Malaysian
flag ship may subject to port state control by Singapore Port State
Control Officer (PSCO), whereas Malaysian flag ship in malaysian
Port may be inspected only under flag state procedures.

How Does The Imo Enforcing His Instruments (Convention, Protocol, Amendments,

Why is Port State Control necessary?

• Because some flag state administration are not always
willing or able to properly exercise their control function
over ships flying their flags in accordance with
International Convention and Codes.

• It therefore, fall to port state to exercise these functions in

order to preserve the safety of life, property and the
marine environment.

What is IMSAS ?
IMO’s main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry
that is fair and effective, universally implemented, and that promotes safe,
secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping.

However, the benefits from such a regulatory framework can only be fully
achieved when all Member States carry out their obligations as required by
the instruments to which they are Parties.

Member States have the primary responsibility to establish and maintain an

adequate and effective system to discharge their obligations as flag, port
and/or coastal States emanating from applicable international law.

IMO can assist Member States to improve their capabilities and overall
performance in order for them to fully comply with the IMO instruments to
which they are Parties.

The IMO Member State Audit Scheme (IMSAS) commenced as a voluntary

Scheme in 2006 and became a treaty obligation in January 2016. It aims to
promote the consistent and effective implementation of applicable IMO
instruments and to assist Member States to improve their capabilities

The procedure used to make the amendments to IMO Convention

enter into force:

• Tacit Acceptance
to the modern procedure for bringing into force amendment to an IMO
Convention, whereby the amendments will enter into force on a particular date
unless, by that date, objections to the amendments are received by IMO from a
specific number of parties.

• Explicit Acceptance
The normal procedure for adopting amendments to an international treaty is by
means of "explicit acceptance." This means that the amendments enter into force
so many months after being accepted by a specified number of Parties to the
original Convention.
Explicit Acceptance of proposed amendments by a specific number of Party States,
or by a specific number of Party State with a specified percentage of Word gross
tonnage

The North India Ocean Hydrographic Commission (NIOHC)

Brief History of NIOHC

The North Indian Ocean Hydrographic Commission (NIOHC) was established in 2002 as the 13th Regional
Hydrographic Commission with Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and UK as initial members, with
03 associate member countries and 03 observer countries to promote greater navigational safety in the Indian
Ocean region through common standards and procedures.

The area of NIOHC covers the northern part of Indian Ocean from Andaman seas to Gulf of Aden excluding the
Gulf of Oman area. A large portion of the world’s maritime traffic passes through the area and therefore NIOHC
has a vital role to play in assuring the safety of mariners within this area.
The first NIOHC meeting was held from 31st January to 03rd February 2002 at Dehradun, India, under the
chairmanship of RAdm KR Srinivasan, AVSM.

Primary objectives of the formation of NIOHC includes mutual cooperation in the field of hydrography,
establishment of regional ENC coordination, conducting joint hydrographic surveys in poorly surveyed
areas and coordinating hydrographic resources in the region.
