An Unsinkable ship?(Summary1)

Part 1

No matter how large ships are, and equipped with all safety equipment, they remain vulnerable to risk from external conditions.
Many inventions have emerged to maintain the safety of ships, including the use of computers in the manufacture of the model which is able to protect the ship from the external pressures. Another example is the technique to isolate the water by using watertight compartments.
On the other hand, the human factor plays an important role in maintaining the safety of ships through the right application of these new techniques.
There must be advance preparations for what happens after the accident; one of them is the availability of the lifeboats and another is the rapid intervention of the Coast Guard.
As the saying goes prevention is better than cure. We must avoid a risk by taking action earlier. For example, forecasting weather before going out on any trip.

Part 2

People can control internal conditions of ships but it is difficult to do that in external conditions. There are some factors which may affect safety of ships such as recent innovations, the human element and prevention.


Part 3

I agree with the writer and I would like to add that we are learning from our mistakes so we should make a solution for each mistake. Another thing, travelling by ship is very nice and it takes long time to get where you want. Moreover it carries lots dangers; so many people prefer travel by planes rather than ships because now we are living in time speed.
