Abstract
LOPEZ-GARCIA, Miguel and RAMIREZ-RAMIREZ, María Alejandra. Maritime safety as a value; beyond compliance with certification. InterSedes [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.49, pp.238-254. ISSN 2215-2458. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/isucr.v24i49.50812.
The purpose of this work was to explore the syntagma "maritime safety as a value," focusing on: a) the theoretical construction of what is MS, b) the significance of the term safety value, and c) the binomial safety value vs. safety certification. Therefore, from the methodological point of view, the scope was considered exploratory since the topic was newfangled; for this aspect, a propositional analysis was based on data and notions recognized by authors on the subject. In addition, the arguments used were clear, reasonable, and the reached conclusions that derived from the statement. In general terms, it was shown as a result of the research the absence of effective mechanisms on board and land to take safety beyond compliance certifications and assume it as an axiological issue; for this reason, the importance that each shipping company should give to it was recognized so that maritime accidents caused by human action are reduced through self-regulation.
