“…This article does not argue that some risk mitigations are better than others for users to employ (due to the differing operations conducted) and instead argues that the number of risk mitigations employed is a more important metric because each particular risk mitigation addresses different types of risks. This argument parallels those made in other safety-sensitive operating environments, such as construction, maritime, and research laboratories [31][32][33]. Below, each risk mitigation included in this study is described and its inclusion justified.…”

“…The number of pre-flight risk mitigations (i.e., all except for air band radio) was also recorded as a sum of the number of the "yes" categorisations for the options covered in question 9, with 8 being the maximum score. This is because each risk mitigation addresses slightly different risks, so one can argue that the greater the number typically applied, the higher one's risk mitigation, following similar arguments in other safety-sensitive environments [31][32][33].…”

While the potential risks of unmanned aircraft have received significant attention, there is little in the academic literature that examines how operational risks are mitigated by users. This study examines the prevalence of key operational risk mitigations amongst a sample of 812 unmanned aircraft users in New Zealand, their confidence levels in identifying and complying with airspace requirements, and their ability to read visual navigation charts (VNCs) and use AirShare (a local tool that shows airspace requirements). Significant differences exist between the number and type of mitigations applied, users’ confidence levels in identifying and complying with airspace requirements, and users’ ability to read VNCs and use AirShare based upon user characteristics. Education, practical assessment, membership of a professional body, professional/semi-professional use, and operating for a certificated organisation all improve risk mitigation (greater number and variety of risk mitigations applied). The only risk mitigation employed by almost all users was conducting a pre-flight check of their aircraft, identifying the need for users to view risk mitigation more holistically. The findings support policy directions related to educational requirements, the ability for member-based organisations and professional bodies to self-regulate, and the fitness of the current regulatory system in New Zealand.

Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) operations, which are the preferred modus operandi to deliver law enforcement at sea, have always been, and remain, a risky endeavor. Because this type of operation holds a pivotal role in maritime law enforcement, safe execution is vital to protect involved staff and assets. Hence, this paper analyzes risks associated with VBSS operations; its main aim is to improve the overall level of safety and bring the identified risks under control, by developing associated mitigation measures. First, the risks under discussion were assessed, based on the professional judgment and experience of the naval personnel involved in these operations. Their inputs were introduced in a conceptual framework and the associated results were scored, compared, and benchmarked. It is true that there is an inherent level of risk built in the execution of VBSS operations; although the occurrence of negative incidents/mishaps can be considered marginal for the vast majority of the time, events like these are most often associated with serious consequences. The results of this research effort acknowledged that risk management practices can be useful and have variable performance in bringing risks to as low as reasonably practicable. In this aspect, risk mitigation can be more effective by implementing a systems approach of physical and administrative barriers with four distinct pillars: “Training”, “Equipment”, “Organizational Culture”, and “Procedures”. Highlights Research bridges the gap of knowledge in studies on risks in a key naval operations Novelty of the conceptual research framework designed by authors which has proven to grasp important aspects of naval operations Research addresses performance factors of naval forces securing the Gulf of Guinea region

“…According to Joseph & Dalaklis, (2021), many Solas 1974 rules and related supporting codes of work have complemented each other and together have contributed positively to the safety of personnel, the environment and Solas 1974 convention and has ratified its implementation in 2013, which accommodates several state ships to comply with the applicable rules in the Solas 1974 convention, the implementation of its implementation is also related to commercial ships. Safety training management training is very important for the safety of ships, crew, and passengers (Dragomir & Simona, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the safety performance of state ships and commercial ships according to the requirements of Solas 1974. The requirements of Solas 1974 in the context of international shipping are mainly related to safety and security issues related to the tools and types of shipping safety. Application of the 1974 Solas Convention and the 2018 Solas Consolidation with the scope of discussion on international shipping is especially related to maritime protection. This study uses the Plan, Do, Check and Action (PDCA) evaluation model. The data was collected through the interview survey method and continued with statistical testing with the factor analysis technique. Respondents consisted of crews of commercial ships with a weight of over 500 GT and crews of pioneer ships as state ships anchored at the Port of Tanjung Priok. Research respondents totaled 57 crew members, consisting of 23 crew members of state ships and 34 crew members of commercial ships. The results of this research can be used as reference material in terms of safety and security as well as protection against environmental damage, in accordance with the transportation management system policy which includes; manuals, implementation policies, supporting implementation procedures, and work instructions for all stakeholders. The research output can be used as a basis for providing recommendations related to corrective actions to improve the marine transportation management system through the implementation of Solas 1974.
