According to International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Baltic Sea Area has some of densest maritime traffic in world. The was designated a Particularly Sensitive (PSSA) at IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee's 53rd session July 2005. Mandatory Ship Reporting System Gulf Finland Traffic (GOFREP) established by 2003 and been operation since 2004. objective this study progress is 1) outline hierarchical structure navigation safety management system from European ship onboard level 2) apply Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) identify hazards potentially unsafe speed maneuvering control actions with respect Collision Regulations (COLREGs) Rules on safe speed, separation distances Separation Schemes requirements aim evaluating effective hazard options enable efficient updating situational awareness enforcement constraints real time.
