Safety Assessment of Ships

Safety assessment of ships is a systematic process to evaluate a vessel’s design, construction, equipment, and operational practices to ensure it can operate safely. It identifies potential risks, such as structural weaknesses, fire hazards, or navigation issues, and verifies that safety measures are in place. This assessment helps prevent accidents, protect crew and cargo, and ensure compliance with international safety standards. Regular inspections, onboard checks, and documentation review are part of this process, aiming to maintain high safety standards throughout the ship's lifecycle.
