Abstract

We dealt with an essential issue – we believe – which is Quality vs. Safety in Shipping. Shipping is not proud for achieving zero defects or accidents, as it should. Efforts in the past – prior to 1998 – for the industry to implement ISO 9000 failed and a full investigation is here made whether even the – for us – safety standard ISM Code – after 1998 – will succeed. So, we have proposed a Total Safety Management philosophy, and a step further, which is a Safety Culture for ship's Manager (Captain). ISM Code regrettably failed to recognise the actual role of Captain and restricted itself to 'commitment on top'.
