TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that although IMO conventions have probably greatly improved shipping safety, they cannot credibly be held to be the chief cause of reduced accident rates as claimed in a recent Marine Policy article, when the documented failures of flag state and port state implementation continue to leave vessels sailing with grave deficiencies.

Abstract: While responsibility for shipping safety is the prime responsibility of the flag states, port state control initiatives and industry self-regulation that has evolved in reaction to them have driven international progress toward the elimination of substandard shipping over the past 20 years. Since 1982, unilateral and multilateral efforts to combat substandard shipping have grown in number and in scope.

This article retraces the history of international shipping safety developments, focusing particularly on the evolution of industry risk management tools, the growth in world-wide shipping in the 20th century, and the increasingly significant roles being played by non?flag state act...
