NON-SEAWORTHY RISKS OF BULK SHIP ACCIDENTS
Rivista Internazionale de Economia dei Trasporti, 2002Co-Authors: Wayne K TalleyAbstract:Bulk ship safety is an increasing concern as the world's fleet ages and deteriorates. This paper uses detailed data provided by the U.S. Coast Guard on bulk ship accidents to investigate the non-seaworthy risks of bulk ship accidents. Ordered probit estimation results suggest that bulk ship accident non-Seaworthiness decreases with ship size, increases with wind speed and is greater for fire/explosion and material/equipment failure accidents than for collisions. However, results do not suggest that non-Seaworthiness is positively related to ship age, flag, classification society or cause of accident. Among categorical variables, non-seaworthy risks are the greatest for fire/explosion and material/equipment failure accidents, increasing the probability of ship total loss by .030 and .018 respectively and the probability that Seaworthiness is negatively affected, but ship not a total loss, by .365 and .213, respectively. These results indicate that policies to reduce fire/explosion and material/equipment failure accidents may be effective in reducing the non-Seaworthiness of bulk ship accidents.

Determinants of Ship Accident Seaworthiness
International journal of maritime economics, 1999Co-Authors: Wayne K TalleyAbstract:This study investigates determinants of the Seaworthiness of ships involved in accidents, utilizing detailed data of individual tanker, container and bulk ship (U.S. and foreign) accidents investigated by the U.S. Coast Guard. Ordered probit estimation results suggest that ship accident Seaworthiness: 1) increases with ship size; 2) is greater if the ship is classified by the American Bureau of Shipping and manned by a licensed operator; and 3) is less for a tanker ship, for multi-ship accidents, at higher winds, if the weather is foggy, and for collision, fire/explosion and material/equipment failure accidents than for groundings. Estimated marginal ship accident Seaworthiness probabilities suggest that policies that reduce fire/explosion and material/equipment failure accidents and increase the manning of ships by licensed operators are likely to be efficacious in improving ship accident Seaworthiness.

Seaworthiness: A new calculus factor in environmental friendliness: Mobil Shipping & Transportation Co v Wonsild Liquid Carriers, Ltd 190 F.3d 64, 1999 AMC 2705 (2d Cir.1999)
2020Co-Authors: Susan Liang Him HodgesAbstract:In Mobil Shipping Transportation Co. v. Wonsild Liquid Carriers Ltd., 1 the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York introduced a new criterion for the assessment of Seaworthiness. In 1999, the additional consideration--risk of environmental damage--received the approval of the United States Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit. 2 Whether the fashionable notion of environmental Seaworthiness will be confirmed by a higher tribunal, or accepted by other jurisdictions, remains to be seen. The case has left something for twenty-first century judges and lawyers to ponder and evaluate. One can safely predict that, in our current climate of eco-friendliness, any cause that safeguards the environment will receive a hearing. However, its adoption depends as much upon the strength of its foundation as upon the personal orientation of the judge trying the case. The purpose of this case note is to examine whether it has any real basis in law and to discuss various related aspects of Seaworthiness.

safety first reconstructing the concept of Seaworthiness under the maritime labour convention 2006
Marine Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Edward PhillipsAbstract:Abstract The concept of Seaworthiness has evolved over many years, and in common with similar concepts (for instance, the definition and application of “prudent seamanship”), its precise meaning has varied considerably. In this context, the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006) can be regarded as focusing the concept in a manner that is not found elsewhere (whether in treaties or in case law). The implementation of the Convention will change shipowners' obligations to ensure ship safety and constitute an essential element of the standard of Seaworthiness. Moreover, it is submitted that the MLC 2006 shifts the centre of emphasis in a manner that is both focussed and necessary. These changes are tracked and critically examined in this paper and conclusions are submitted based on the relevant analysis.

Replicating a voyage of discovery
Historical Archaeology, 1992Co-Authors: Joe J. SimmonsAbstract:Building and sailing replica ships is not an uncommon phenomenon. Often, the replica is built to prove that a certain ship type could have crossed a particular body of water, to make a cameo appearance at a tall ships’ rendezvous, or to commemorate the anniversary of an historic voyage. Some replicas have been more authentic than others, but the voyages themselves seldom strive to achieve authenticity. Given the enormous investment the builder has in his replica, it is not surprising that he usually considers the project a success if the vessel completes its maiden voyage safely. Testing the replica’s Seaworthiness in a variety of sea conditions and using the information obtained to fine-tune or improve the ship are seldom seriously considered. This paper presents a case for replicating a voyage of discovery and proposes a solution to the vexing problem of what to with the replica once the experiments are over.

transport economics and Seaworthiness of vessels
Constanta Maritime University Annals, 2014Co-Authors: Sandell PeterivarAbstract:This article describes the research conducted by the writer concerning the possibilities in enhancing the safety of ships and Seaworthiness through risk management and marine insurance connected to new possibilities developed by research results achieved by solutions developed for Bridge Resource Management and Crew Resource Management. The article describes the basic solution in new Nordic Marine Insurance Plan 2013 for encouraging the ship owners to develop safety practices which can be accepted by the insurers as safety regulations in insurance policies to affect the risk management and to create safety practices which in turn increase safety on vessels and create cost efficiency through decreased insurance premiums when risk management on a ship or whole fleet is taken care of by using these modern safety practices which are made possible through effective use of modern technology and use of research models adjusted to practices on vessels. The further research will identify possibilities to develop similar practices to enhance safety culture by developing similar models which can be used as models to decrease transport costs
