Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Changes in the way in which the maritime transport industry looks at safety and the management of risk are triggered largely by disaster. The industry is slowly beginning to think in terms of individual safety assessment rather than the blanket regulations which have dominated to date. This work examines: the reliability of marine propulsion and steering systems; compensation for oil pollution damage from ships; management of risk; the definition of seaworthy as applied to vessels; the regulatory framework for the carriage of bulk and packaged chemicals by ships; insurance of oil cargo in the London Market; and the relevance to design of ship classification rules and international conventions.
