Examining the Condition of Controlling and Inspecting State Vessels (in Terms of Technical and Security Factors) Traveling to Bushehr Ports and Providing Suitable Solutions
The aim of the study is to
examine the technical and security conditions of state vessels traveling to
Bushehr?ports. This
research is filled out through a 22-item questionnaire by 40 security and
controlling officers of Bushehrvessels. The results of Kolmogrov-Smirinov test
suggest that the data are normal and T-test has been used for questionnaire
analysis. The findings indicate that failure in technical and security
certificates, failure of qualification certificate, failure of machinery and
electrical appliances, structural safety defects, failure of telecommunication
equipment, failure of security in under 500 tons motor boats and traditional
and metal vessels [1]. As well, above 500 tons
vessels traveling to Bushehr waters (state vessels) have suitable conditions.
