In summary, the effectiveness of the maritime safety system in eliminating substandard vessels can be enhanced by amalgamating inspection data sources to refine risk assessment and strategically allocate inspection efforts to high-priority ships and regions. Overcoming prevailing political hurdles within the shipping industry and fostering greater cooperation between industry stakeholders and regulatory bodies are imperative steps in this process. Augmented risk profiling and utilizing platforms like GISIS for inspection data sharing hold promise for reducing superfluous onboard inspections. Moreover, a crucial aspect often overlooked in inspections pertains to the human element on ships, encompassing crew working and living conditions, warranting heightened consideration and priority.
