Historically, while “hazards of the sea” were well recognised, they tended to be taken for granted. The seamanship of the captain and crew were the primary safeguards against the hazards of the sea in the early days. In fact, early classification societies were founded to confirm ship captains’ credentials. The advancement of technology, in the last hundred years or so, has made shipping so much safer that “hazards of the sea” are no longer considered major shipping hazards. In fact, it now appears that human error is the principal hazard of shipping. However, it must be remembered that most accidents actually involve a combination of pre-conditions and events, and human error is usually just one contributing factor. Hazards differ depending upon the type of vessel and the operating scenario. The hazards in operating an oil tanker are different from those of a passenger ship. The hazards in the open sea are different from those in a harbour approach. Hazards of shipping can be classified as external or internal.
