DEVELOPMENT OF TANKER MANAGEMENT SELF ASSESSMENT SYSTEM IN TANKER SHIP OPERATIONS

Abstract

One example of a ship safety management system failure is a casualty that occurs in the ship system. This study is critical because it will study how the Tanker Management Self Assessment (TMSA) system works to ensure the efficiency and safety of tankers. The study shows that the tanker's safety culture, communication, safety performance, compliance, and Port State Control (PSC) Inspection Pass have improved due to the implementation of the TMSA system, which has reduced the accident rate. In addition, the system has increased safety awareness and culture among the ship's crew, increasing crew involvement in safety management. Limited resources, complexity, and limited training are some obstacles and limitations when developing the TMSA system. It is concluded that improving the development of the TMSA system for tanker operations is essential for crew safety.
