Abstract
The maritime industry is an important component of global trade and transportation, and safety is of paramount importance in its operations. A robust safety management system (SMS) is the cornerstone of ensuring a safe maritime environment. However, the effectiveness of the SMS is determined not only by its existence, but also by the proactive detection and elimination of inconsistencies in it. This study focuses on the use of a proactive approach to identifying inconsistencies in the safety management system of a shipping company. The author proposes a comprehensive strategy for managing shipping safety in companies. The author emphasizes the need for a targeted impact on the factors affecting the safety of shipping operations, covering technical, social and financial aspects. Focusing on a forward-looking strategy, the study aims to increase the level of risk management efficiency and prevent negative events. Particular attention is paid to strategic analysis and identification of the root causes of the identified inconsistencies. The importance of an integrated approach to safety management is emphasized and specific recommendations are offered to improve the safety management systems of shipping companies, which is undoubtedly important for professionals to improve safety standards in maritime transport
