DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND
THE MARITIME ENVIRONMENT

• THE MARINE: Environment refers to the bigger


picture of all the living things that live in or on the
sea, eg seabirds, marine mammals, fish, snails,
shellfish, sponges and seaweed.

• THE MARITIME: Environment is about ships and


boats and other man-made things such as oil drilling
platforms.
THE PURPOSE OF WORLD MARITIME DAY
Day Celebrations are held throughout the
world to focus attention on the importance of
shipping safety, maritime security and the
marine environment, and to emphasize a
particular aspect of IMO's work.

Also to show appreciation to the Ocean


for all its Provision
When was IMO first established
• In 1948 an international conference in Geneva
adopted a convention formally establishing IMO

(the original name was the Inter-Governmental


Maritime Consultative Organization, or IMCO, but
the name was changed in 1982 to IMO).
The four pillars of the International
Maritime Organization
• Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)
• Standards of Training, Certification, and
Watchkeeping (STCW)
• The International Convention for
Pollution Prevention from Ships
(MARPOL)
• Maritime Labour Convention (MLC)
WHAT ARE THE 9 SECTORS OF THE MARITIME
INDUSTRY

Among the most important sectors of the maritime industry


are

• Maritime Shipping
• Ports
• Shipbuilding
• Shipbuilding
• Supply Industry
• Marine Engineering
• Offshore Wind Energy And
• Maritime Research And Development.
The Range of Activities Providing Support Services
to Maritime Operations.

• Finance. ...
• Insurance. ...
• Ship classification and registry. ...
• Navies and coast guard. ...
• Bunkering and stores. ...
• Pilotage and tugs. ...
• Industry and trade groups. ...
• Training and education.
What is Maritime in Business
The Maritime Industry is waterborne commerce
• it's about transportation of goods and people over
large waterways, such as with cruise liners, cargo
ships, and ferries
The industry has a direct impact on much of our
everyday lives.
• Maritime Trade
• Maritime Security
• Maritime Logistics / Services
• Maritime Engineering ( Ship Building )
MARITIME REGULATORS IN NIGERIA

• Approved NIMASA
• Ministry of Transportation
• Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA)
• Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)
• Nigerian Shippers Council (NSC)
• National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA)
• National Oil Spill Detection and Response
Agency (NOSDRA)
What is Maritime Safety
• Maritime safety refers to the measures and
practices put in place to ensure the safety of
life, vessels, and the environment in maritime
environments. It encompasses a wide range of
activities, regulations, and technologies
designed to prevent accidents, mitigate risks,
and respond effectively to emergencies at sea.
SAFETY FIRST
It is best to avoid any unnecessary risks and to act so that you stay safe.

Where did the phrase "safety first" come from


The "Safety First" movement had its roots in the
early 20th century when industrialisation and
urbanisation led to significant growth in the
manufacturing, mining, and railroad sectors. As
these industries rapidly expanded, so did the
number of workplace incidents, injuries, and
fatalities
Key Aspects of Maritime Safety
Regulations and Standards:
• International Conventions: Maritime safety is governed by international
agreements such as the International Convention for the Safety of Life at
Sea (SOLAS), which sets minimum safety standards in the construction,
equipment, and operation of ships.

• National Laws: Individual countries also have laws and regulations that
align with or extend beyond international standards.

• Navigation Safety:
• Vessel Traffic Services (VTS): Systems used to monitor and guide
maritime traffic to avoid collisions and accidents.
• Electronic Navigation: The use of GPS, AIS (Automatic Identification
System), radar, and other electronic tools to enhance situational
awareness and safe navigation.
Safety Equipment:
• Lifeboats and Life Rafts: Essential for evacuation in emergencies.
• Firefighting Equipment: Fire extinguishers, fire pumps, and alarms are
critical for onboard fire safety.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Life jackets, immersion suits, and
other gear to protect crew members.
Crew Training and Certification:
• Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW):
International standards that ensure crew members are properly trained
and qualified for their roles.
Search and Rescue (SAR):
• Coordinated efforts by national and international organizations to assist
vessels in distress, including the use of helicopters, ships, and other
resources.
Pollution Prevention:
• MARPOL Convention: An international agreement aimed at preventing
pollution from ships, including oil spills, chemical discharges, and
garbage disposal.
Incident and Emergency Response:
• Emergency Procedures: Plans and drills to prepare for
incidents such as fires, collisions, groundings, and
evacuations and Man Overboard
• Response Coordination: Collaboration between maritime
authorities, coast guards, and other organizations to manage
and mitigate incidents.

Port and Ship Security:


• ISPS Code: The International Ship and Port Facility
Security Code, which enhances the security of ships
and port facilities.
The Importance of Maritime Safety
• Ensuring safety at sea is essential for
protecting lives, assets, and the environment
in global maritime operations.

• Example: The sinking of the RMS Titanic in


1912 highlighted the need for better safety
regulations, leading to the creation of the
SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) convention.
Current and Emerging Safety Challenges
• Increasing vessel size, cybersecurity threats,
and environmental risks pose new challenges
to maritime safety.
Innovations in Maritime Safety
Cutting-edge technologies like autonomous navigation, enhanced
ship design, and real-time monitoring are revolutionizing safety at
sea.
Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs):
are compact distress beacons worn by crew members. They transmit
signals to satellites, alerting rescue services.
Automatic Identification System (AIS):
transponders broadcast vessel information, including position, speed,
and course. AIS-equipped vessels can track nearby traffic and receive
collision warnings.
AIS MOB (Man Overboard)
devices trigger alarms when crew members fall into
the water.
Innovation List
• Advance navigation system
• Collision avoidance system
• Emergency Communication and Rescue
Technology
• Fire Safety innovations
• Crew Training and Safety Culture
Emergency Response Procedures for Marine
Operations
• Security Breach
• Bomb Threat
• Severe Weather
• Search and Rescue
• Man Overboard
• Grounding
• Collision
• Fire in Engine Room
• Water ingress
• Pirate Attack
Navigating the Future: Safety First
• The future of maritime safety hinges on
integrating advanced technologies, rigorous
regulations, and sustainable SAFETY practices.
