Maritime Transport Safety: Contributing factors globally
MAJOR FACTORS
AFFECTING THE
SAFETY OF MODERN
NAVIGATION
Professional competence -many shippers seek cheaper workforce -Lack of professional training -Fail to fully implement IMO standards
Insufficient manning -Insufficient crew members -fatigue -maritime legislative which in most segments appeases the shippers allowing them to use minimum crew onboard ships
Piracy -pirates operate across vast ocean areas which are difficult to monitor and control efficiently -limited assets that are allocated for fighting piracy.
Language barriers -crew members under pressure start panicking and using their national languages. -conflicts arising from different social, cultural, even religious backgrounds.

Maritime Transport Safety: Problems faced by Malaysia
PROBLEMS IN MARITIME TRANSPORT SAFETY:
MALAYSIA’S CASE
Maritime incidents eg. Accident, oil spill
-merchant ships accidents -2013 (59) -2014 (50) -2015 (67)
Multiple policies developed by different
government agencies. Eg. Oil spill response
Piracy issues
Human resource
Pollution from ships
Different legislation eg. MSO 1952 & MSO 1960
Substandard ships -Mostly in Sabah & Sarawak -2015 – wood ship exploded in Sandakan -Carrying fuel illegally
funding
Maritime Transport Safety: Malaysia’s case
Measures to improve maritime transport safety in Malaysia
International Standards and national
legislation Technical measures Capacity building
IMO Conventions Constant review of Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1952 & 1960 Federation Port Rules 1953
Aids to Navigation (AtoN) Vessels Traffic System (VTS) Port State Control ISPS Code & ISM Code Establishment of P&I Malaysia Maintenance dredging at jetties
Oil Spill Response
ITCP Programme Training and Examination International participation (IMO, IALA)
Regional table top exercise (Aug 2016) Oil spill response base
Maritime Transport Safety: Malaysia’s case
Measures to improve maritime transport safety in Malaysia
Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS)
International Collaboration
an initiative to facilitate marine traffic in the Straits of Malacca.
to reduce the risk of close quarter situation between ships.
ships are separated by the navigation routes determined by the Marine Department of Malaysia.
Maritime cooperation through meetings eg. ASEAN meetings
Joint projects with dialogue partners (Japan, Korea, China etc.) - VTS operator training
Effective communication
Constant communication among related agencies involved in maritime sectors
STRAITREPS
Mandatory ship reporting systems in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. Provides information to ships about specific and critical situation which could cause conflicting traffic movements and other information concerning safety of navigation.
Maritime Transport Safety: Way forward for Malaysia
Way forward in maritime
transport safety
- Consolidated system for navigation routes
- Accessible on ships real time
- Coordination between related agencies involved in maritime activities
Sufficient human resources
Establishment of shipping fund
Single legislation (MSO 1952 + MSO 1960)
