This paper examines the legal and procedural developments in maritime safety following the Titanic disaster. It emphasizes the impact of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and explores the evolution of marine casualty investigations. The article delves into issues of self-incrimination, confidentiality, and the legal mechanisms intended to encourage cooperation among seafarers in safety investigations. It also assesses global legislative responses, such as Namibia’s draft legislation, and critiques existing frameworks for their inconsistencies and lack of absolute guarantees for seafarers’ protections.
