10 MAIB Safety Bulletin 2/2008 Issued in wake of Viking Islay, Sava Lake and Saga Rose Accidents Identified that Accidents in enclosed /confined spaces continues to be one of the most common causes of work related fatalities on board ships today due to Complacency leading to lapses of procedure Lack of knowledge Potentially dangerous spaces not being identified Would-be rescuers acting on instinct and emotion rather than knowledge and training

11 MAIB SAFETY BULLETIN 2/2008 RECOMMENDATIONS Ship owners and managers, and industry bodies and organisations are recommended to: Identify and implement measures aimed at improving the identification of all dangerous and potentially dangerous spaces and increasing compliance with the safe working practices required when working in such compartments. Individually and collectively raise the awareness of the continuing high incidence of fatalities of seafarers working in enclosed spaces.

12 MAIB SAFETY BULLETIN 2/2008 RECOMMENDATIONS The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is recommended to: Co-sponsor with the Maritime Administration of Vanuatu and other concerned administrations a submission to the IMO aimed at raising the awareness of the number of fatalities on ships which have occurred in enclosed spaces, and highlighting the need for measures to be identified which will reduce this unnecessary loss of life, such as the identification and marking of all potentially dangerous spaces.
