“…Ocean governance means the coordination of various uses of the ocean and protection of the marine environment. It is also defined as the necessary process to sustain ecosystem structure and functions (Pyć 2016). This author adds that an effective ocean governance requires the implementation of globally-agreed international rules and procedures, regional actions based on common principles, and national legal frameworks and integrated policies.…”

This paper examines piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Mexico, under the framework of maritime security. The results indicate that piratic attacks are most likely underreported by the Government of Mexico. The research findings documented fourteen attacks on supply vessels and offshore platforms for the first half of 2020; only three relevant attacks were officially reported in the same period by the vessel´s (foreign) flag jurisdiction. However, the Maritime Authority of Mexico did not change the security level at any of the ports or territorial sea during the incidents. The maritime security level remained the same (level 1) during 2020, despite several alerts launched by the international maritime community. Recommendations by the respondents (shipmasters, SSO, CSO and PFSO) recommended that a permanent increased security level (level 2) should be implemented in the Southern part of the Gulf of Mexico until this specific problem is resolved. Participants suggested additional special measures to tackle the problem including the evaluation to class the area as a High Risk Area (HRA) and the establishment of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOU), for international cooperation and capacity building with the US Coastguard authorities to promote necessary collaboration towards effectively dealing with these security threats.

“…Protecting, therefore, our oceans and safeguarding the life of seafarers is by definition a matter of maintaining our planet's continuity and society's welfare (Spalding 2016). Such value of the oceans has been, primarily, identified and safeguarded by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which amongst others, aims to establish an international framework and governing rules that ensure the sustainable use of the oceans (Pyć 2016). Due to the crucial role that shipping has to play to the facilitation of world trade, its indisputable contribution to the global economy and its obvious impact to several stakeholders (i.e., seafarers, local communities, fisheries, environmental and non-governmental organizations, shippers, etc.…”

Increasing environmental, social and economic problems, born by unceasing economic growth, have transformed our approach to the development concept. The 1980s saw the appearance of the sustainable development term and, during the 1990s, sustainability notion was implicitly framed as an integrated concept, frequently, termed as the ‘triple bottom line’ approach. Among several initiatives and efforts to balance our economic and societal pursuits with environmental challenges the, lately, introduced United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) refer to a remarkable evolution, which came to strengthen and establish sustainability conception as an integrated social, economic and environmental triptych. International shipping, as the major carrier of world trade and significant contributor to environmental degradation has, definitely, a vital role to play in facilitating the UN’s sustainability venture. Although there is a great amount of legislative instruments, codes and guidance to address sustainability in shipping, though, limited research has been devoted to identify how the tanker and dry bulk maritime sector has responded to such recent cohesive attitude to sustainable maritime development. Through a quantitative research approach this empirical study aimed to investigate maritime industry’s insights and attitudes in relation to the, newly, introduced triple bottom line approach to global sustainable development. Research data were collected via a questionnaire survey conducted to 50 tanker and/or dry bulk shipping companies. Pearson’s chi-square test of independence and Spearman’s correlation coefficient measures were utilized to test our three formulated hypotheses. Findings highlighted increasing awareness and adaptation of the maritime sector to the triple bottom line approach and, subsequent, sustainability absorption under the auspices of a corporate social responsibility (CSR) business model. Introduction of sustainable development in an integrated manner appears to have influenced the extent that statutory maritime regulations occupy to the formulation of marine safety management systems. To sum up, the integrated management system model turned out to be the most rated tactic to manage sustainability and, as such, a conceptual CSR framework was proposed to facilitate such an objective.

“…Sustainable ocean governance confirms rational human activities through a coordinated, reconciled and balanced ocean management. In general, sustainable ocean governance means the coordination of various uses of the ocean and protection of the marine environment (Pyc, 2016). Sustainable ocean governance is shaped by programs and action plans promoting integrated management and the concept of sustainability (Vallega, 2000).…”
