Organization factors play critical roles in determining the quality and reliability of marine systems such as offshore platforms, ships, and pipelines. These organization factors have dramatic influences on the quality and reliability achieved during design, construction, and operation of marine systems. This paper focuses on enhancing reliability through reducing failure during the operational phase of marine systems. It discusses the importance of a model of risk mitigation within organizations in which error can result in catastrophic outcomes, and illustrates the failure of these factors to operate appropriately in the Exxon Valdez accident. It then examines linkages among organizations that must be thought about in managing risk.
