To avoid catastrophic situations, such as documented in Fig. 6.9-4, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has, as part of its code of safe practice for solid bulk cargoes, declared DRI as material hazardous in bulk (MHB), which requires certain precautions to allow shipment and obtain insurance. Untreated DRI can be transported if the ship is equipped with safety measures as shown in Fig. 6.9-5... 

The NSSS for lighter-carrier "Sevmorput" was designed with regard to requirements of the Code for safety of nuclear merchant ships developed by International Maritime Organization (IMO). 

Human rehability analysis (HRA) is used to determine the probability that a task or activity will be completed successfully within a required time period, and that no other human action that could be detrimental to system performance will take place. An HRA analysis can also help identify areas where potential improvements can be made. A description of the topic is provided by the International Maritime Organization (2002). 

The International Safety Management (ISM) Code is a mandated SMS of the International Maritime Organization for vessels subject to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, and is administered in the United States by USCG.

Wherever possible, testing should be carried out in accordance with an approved standard. These include the standards issued by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN). There are many other standards of international repute, such as the NF, JIS, and BS standards. Most countries have their own standards. These are adjusted to suit local requirements but are based on the main international standards. Evaluations carried out to these standards in a laboratory compliant with the ISO 9001 quality standard carry more weight than those tested under other conditions. Other standards, such as aviation and maritime specifications, are also recognized in their fields. In all cases, the most recent issue of the standard or specification must be used. 

Big ships are related to building with respect to their dimensions and construction. Their fire protection concepts are therefore rather similar to those of buildings. For ocean liners, the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) issued the regulations International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). Chapter II-2 covers the fire protection prescriptions. As for buildings, ships are also divided into fire sectors and fire resistance is codified for particular structural components. Very rigorous requirements are made for the materials used.
