Distribution of Maritime Safety Information and Improvement Measures for Safety of Navigation

The number of losses and accidents in the maritime industry is steadily growing according to the annual report of the European Maritime Safety Agency (2015). Maritime accidents occur partly because of inaccurate, dubious, unreliable and/or misunderstood Maritime Safety Information (MSI). Therefore, this paper analyses the distribution of maritime safety information according to the developed model. The subsystem existence in the systematic functioning of the maritime safety information distribution is noticed. Apart from the others, information is distributed by the authorized national coordinators through the radio- distribution and the infrastructure of the coastal radio stations, the Very High Frequency-VHF, Navigational Text-NAVTEX and the International Maritime Satellite-INMARSAT by Safety NET. A proposal for maritime safety improvement measures is based on the expected distribution of maritime safety information. The application of new measures may increase the level of the investigated part of the maritime safety in the state systems responsible for maintenance or logistics of maritime motorways as well as seafarers themselves.
