Abstract

The observance of numerous accidents at sea over the decades involving fire and collision was instrumental in the creation of conventions that aim to reduce risks to human life. New equipments and systems were designed, rules and obligations were formulated in order to improve the safety of navigation, positively affecting the aspects related to relief and rescue. We are going to describe some new systems that ensure the navigation, the training carried out to avoid accidents on board and the duty to assist them in case of collision.
