and operations and to identify the risks on the sea and in the infrastructures, the steps needed to eliminate or keep them to a minimum and ensure that the risks are regularly reviewed and adapted as circumstance, changing trades and experience dictate. The port's Marine SMS, applies to marine operations and includes all commercial shipping operations in the port, with the exception of operations that are solely the responsibility of the berth or facility and with no implications for navigational safety. Includes marine leisure and sports navigational activities and marine operations undertaken by any support or service organisation. 4.4 Aeronautical SMS The international organizations in the aeronautical sector, primarily ICAO that have developed the Annex 19 and and for Europe EASA have issued and maintain updated specific regulations to define the technical requirements and administrative procedures for an SMS relating to civil aviation crews, construction and operation of airport facilities, the provision of air navigation services. ICAO defines an SMS as “A syste matic approach to managing safety, including the necessary organizational structures, accountability, responsibilities, policies and procedures.” The Aeronautical SMS objectives are a systematic way to identify and control risks, the assurance that risk controls remain effective, a formal means of meeting statutory requirements and - for the Civil Aviation Authoriries - a mean for evaluating an organization’s safety management capability 5. Hypotheses for the integration of SMS focused on the infrastructural assets of ports The examination of the different SMS models mentioned in the previous paragraphs allows us to affirm that the SMS for road transport described by the ANSFISA guidelines have integrated the aeronautical SMS approach described in ICAO Annex 19 and by the EASA regulation, have integrated the philosophy of Road Infrastructure Safety Management of the International Transport Forum and finally incorporate most of the specifications provided for by EU Reg 762/2018 and illustrated in the guidelines developed by the European Railway Agency on SMS. The SMS model developed by ANSFISA is designed to evolve over time and to reach 4 increasing levels of performance in all subcomponents (1-Present; 2-Adequate; 3-Operational; 4-Efficient).
