Summary:"The environmental and human costs of marine accidents are high, and risks are considerable. At the same time, expectations from society to the safety of maritime transportation, like most other activities, increases continuously. To meet these expectations, systematic methods for understanding and managing the risks in a cost-efficient manner are needed.

Safety management is a continuous and wide-ranging process, with a set of methods and tools to support the process.
