When considering factors such as high levels of trade, congested
ports, older fleets, and extreme weather, this progress reflects an in-
creased focus on measures that include safety awareness training,
improved ship design, the application of new technology and com-
pliance with regulations. However, there is no room for complacency
and more focus is required on cargo safety particularly with respect
to liquefaction and safe navigation with the emphasis on berth to
berth passage planning.
