Maritime transportation system is one of the most
important components of critical infrastructure.
disturbances to its functioning can cause significant
negative results for surrounding systems, including

2.2 Maritimetransportation systemsafetystatesmodel
reflectingcrisismanagementphases
Implementation of crisis management issues and
problems into the technical systems’ safety states
models commonly known, has resulted in
formulating of critical infrastructure systems’ safety
statesmodel,illustratingprocessesconnectedtotheir
transitions, corresponding to particular crisis
managementphases(Figure1).

increasingrate
oftransitionfromstateS1toS0.
The efforts are corresponding to following crisis
managementphases:
Prevention – analyzes of potentially possible
crisis situations, and undertaking activities
loweringprobabilityoftheirappearance,
Preparation – planning of actions (procedures),
thatshouldbeperformedincase of appearing of
foreseencrisissituations.
Crisissituationstateis
interpretedasaggregationof
two minor states shown in Figure 1: S
2 state,
illustrating threats level trespassing border of crisis
situation, but not causing damages to critical
infrastructure systems, and S
3 state, reached when
damagesmentionedaretakingplace.
Crisis management services efforts, undertaken
whencrisissituationoccurs,aimingtomovesystem
from crisis situation state into no threats state, are
namedReaction:
Reaction – undertaking of previously planned,
coordinated activities, leading to stop crisis
situation expanding, support casualties, and
restrictdamagesandlosses.
Transition between states S
2 and S3 reflects the
fourth, not mentioned until now, phase of crisis
management,namedRecovery(Reconstruction):
Recovery (Reconstruction) – restoration of
previousconditionsofcriticalinfrastructure.
Thus, the model is representing all four crisis
managementphases.
