Abstract: We dealt with an essential issue-we believe-which is Quality vs. Safety in Shipping.Shipping is not proud for achieving zero defects or accidents, as it should.Efforts in the past-prior to 1998-for the industry to implement ISO 9000 failed and a full investigation is here made whether even the -for us-safety standard ISM Code-after 1998-will succeed.So, we have proposed a Total Safety Management philosophy, and a step further, which is a Safety Culture for ship's Manager (Captain).ISM Code regrettably failed to recognise the actual role of Captain and restricted itself to 'commitment on top'.
