Abstract

This paper discusses the development of safety regulation in sea transport. It suggests that international competitive forces and regulatory capture, coupled with the slow and uneven effects of international conventions, has led to a sub-optimal level of ship safety. Reforms are therefore needed based on a systematic programme of cost-benefit analysis, involving higher quality of information.
