any maritime voyage is exposed to sea hazards, natural and artificial dangers, as well as naval accidents and incidents. Maritime risk management issues have so far been relatively predictably connected to: natural disasters, technical faults of ships and naval equipment and human errors. Today, the particular rise in international maritime trade and the use of new technologies in the naval industry are generating new, ever-changing risks. Identifying and counteracting these risks is crucial, as the success or failure of the maritime industry can have important effects on world trade and economy. The main risk trends faced by the maritime industry at present include: natural disasters, emergence of new arctic routes, unmanned ships, autonomous transport, piracy.
