This short communication discusses the main principle reasons of marine safety management system's shortcomings and drawbacks as the ten key essential factors. Most of such mentioned events traced their roots back to the lack of supports and well-understanding of the management system. Impractical expectations, insufficient resources, and inadequate metrics are some of the main reasons for the above-mentioned events. According to accident investigation history, most of the official safety management system audits commonly fail to reveal the reasons why marine safety management systems will not be able to provide its full planned benefits. Based on the UK Continental Shelf incidents and accidents data and floating production storage offloading (FPSO) vessel the number of particular ten key contributors is provided. The outcome can reduce the incidents, increase the quality of production and investor confidence, and considerably improve the production uptime. The opinions presented here are based on the current short communication study and relevant experience of the authors.
