Although regulatory information is important, it is rather
fragmented due to the internationalized nature of
maritime operations as well as because it involves various
private and public sector standardization agencies.
4 Review of relevant information services
The plethora of regulations for quality, safety and security in maritime transport
(1) Who knows what is right for investing on specific regulations?
(2) Who considers regulatory choices in the context of international maritime transport?
(3) Who accepts personal responsibility for decisions that influence quality and safety?
MASSEP 2013 conference, Athens Kostagiolas
A large number of international regulatory authorities are issuing a wide range of regulations
MASSEP 2013 conference, Athens Kostagiolas
Advisory Committee on Protection of the Sea
ASEAN Ports Association
Australian Quarantine & Inspection Service
Association of Australian Ports & Marine Authorities
Coastal Guide Europe
European Union for Coastal Conservation
European Seaport Organization International Association of Independent Tanker Owners
International Chamber of Shipping International Federation of Shipmasters' Associations
International Navigation Association International Standardization Organization
Oil Companies Marine Forum
Society of International Gas Tanker & Terminal Operators
Cost of Compliance (CoC) models
quality, and safety cost(s) differs from industry to industry
MASSEP 2013 conference, Athens Kostagiolas
PAF cost model: prevention; appraisal; and failure costs
Process Cost Model: cost of conformance and cost of non conformance
Agreement and certainty in decision making for regulations implementation
Life is uncertain … so is the sea transportation since the beginning of human history…
Information reduces uncertainty and enhances agreement for decision-making between different actors in maritime transport industry
Information and knowledge management initiatives for rules and regulations
Transport Research Knowledge Centre, TRKC
European Seaports Organization (ESPO) Information Services
European Marine Casualty Information Platform (EMCIP)

“EQUASIS” Services

A rationale for integrating regulatory perspectives
• Access to databases: e.g. scholarly communication and open access resources, e-journals, etc.
• Access to specific material: e.g. printed collection, loans, etc.
• Reference / consultation services: e.g. reference documents, assistance with database searches etc.
• Training & education: e.g. classes, curriculum liaison etc.
• Current awareness services: e.g. WEB 2.0 services, alerts etc.
• Support services: e.g. internet access, access to computers etc.
The appreciation of information services’ potential may further aim at suggesting meaningful usages of novel technologies including web 2.0 based services
Conclusions
(1) Maritime transport includes a vast number of regulations, codes, standards etc.
(2) The cost of quality and safety is an important issue to be examined when decisions are made
(3) Quality and safety management is dynamically linked with information
MASSEP 2013 conference, Athens Kostagiolas
This paper did not intend to address in depth all the above issues. However, a number of considerations
have been made towards the development of specific information services for maritime transport
services.
