Abstract
All users of sea transportation in Indonesia in particular and in the world in general, place great importance on safety and security issues. They are vital to avoid accidents which can include the sinking or burning of ships, collisions and running aground. The causes of accidents can be broken down into three groups: human factors; technical factors; and weather factors. These can result in loss of life, psychological trauma to survivors, material losses, and environmental damage. This study proposes the following as key considerations in the reduction of accidents: the provision of safe practice guidelines; identify and introduce protections for all risk categories; continuously improve onboard and personal safety measures. In addition, measures can be taken to mitigate the impact of accidents after they occur, such as responsivity, the collection of evidence to establish why accidents occur and ensure they do not occur again, good leadership and demeanors from ship personnel.
