EVENT AND INCIDENT MANAGEMENT IN THE PRACTICE OF SAFE SHIP OPERATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the process of managing events and incidents on board a ship, which is an important aspect of ensuring the safety and efficiency of its operation in the course of maritime transportation. This paper defines the concept of event and incident management, which covers the detection, tracking, analysis and resolution of events and incidents that occur during the routine operation of a ship. Monitoring the safety status of ship operations and systems is a fundamental element in the event management process. Considerable attention is also paid to investigating the causes that led to the occurrence of events. These aspects act as key factors in event management. It is noted that there are three main types of events – informational, warning and deviation cases, each of which requires appropriate actions and responses. The article also describes important aspects of event management on board a ship, such as event detection, classification and assessment, response and involvement of an incident management team. The analysis of events and their causes is a valuable tool for improving the event management process and preventing similar incidents in the future. These results are useful for maritime safety professionals, ship operators and shipowners as they provide an opportunity to effectively manage the safety system of events and incidents on board. They serve as an important source of information for improving safety procedures and making informed decisions on maritime safety.
