Maritime Governance

  • 752 Accesses

Abstract

The problems that characterise the maritime sector are constantly developing, and if there is one feature of the shipping and port industry that remains consistent, it is that it is always changing. Apart from the obvious nature of the maritime industry in that it centres upon the movement of goods and people (and consequently ships) around the world, it also displays many other features of constant change. Thus, major maritime problems such as environmental degradation, low safety standards, security violations and issues of commercial efficiency do not stand still but either by nature constantly reflect differing failures or are part of a moving programme of events deliberately manipulated by those central to the industry. The structure and development of maritime governance has failed to reflect this and instead has been characterised by institutional stasis and regulations, and rules and policy directives that are designed for a single point in time. Maritime governance is incessantly chasing maritime problems, failures and inadequacies generated by the shipping industry as it operates to its own strict commercial principles, taking advantage of any anachronisms in policy that have developed since their last revision. Maritime governance needs to address a requirement to be flexible in its institutional structures, in the vehicles it uses to face these problems, in the agencies that deliver the policies that emerge and in the nature of the measures actually taken. There is also a need to understand the difference between the current static governance and the dynamic governance that could meet these needs. This requires at the outset to address the issue of form—a central feature of the static approach to policy that its formal position currently takes. This chapter looks at the static nature of maritime governance and its focus upon form rather than process. It concludes with a discussion of the related concepts of path dependency and lock-in and their relationship to policy-making for shipping.
