vessel risk assessment

Vessel risk assessment is the process of evaluating a ship's safety, condition, and operational practices to identify potential hazards that could lead to accidents or environmental damage. It considers factors like the vessel’s design, maintenance, crew experience, route, and current weather conditions. The goal is to ensure the vessel operates safely by pinpointing risks early and implementing measures to mitigate them. This proactive approach helps prevent incidents, safeguards lives, protects the environment, and ensures compliance with safety standards.
