-----------------------------------------------------------------------***-------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: This paper aims to draw people’s attention ‘ECDS AND EBP System’ for improved deceleration of the ships to avoid collisions at sea.
towards one of the major cause of accidents at sea, its impact and the methods we can adopt to reduce the chances of accidents considerably. The paper finds slow braking rate as the key cause of maximum accidents and suggests two systems designed to increase the deceleration rate of the ships. A detailed explanation about the working and the setting up of our proposed systems ECDS (Emergency Cargo Drop Stop) and EBP (Emergency

Braking Propellers) has been provided in the course of the paper. It also draws a comparison between the pros and the cons of these systems. The study’s conclusion indicates the significance of these two systems and how it paves the way for further study on the application and benefits of these systems. Keywords: Braking system, Cargo, Collisions, Propellers.
1. INTRODUCTION
Figure 1. Reasons of marine accidents
Any mode of transport is bound to have accidents. When it comes to shipping industry; the vast oceanic area, thousands of vessels, millions metric tons of cargoes, oil, gas et cetera, holding worth of 700 billion$ and millions of seafarers sailing around the globe makes it the most vital mode of transport and much more exposed to accidents. To an industry like this, safety plays the most pivotal role. Though safety aboard has significantly increased in the last decade as claimed by various maritime organizations but the statistics show scary figures. For one reason or the other merchant ships have continued to be involved in accidents. The accidents have not only resulted in financial losses but have also taken lives of officers and crew aboard. Moreover, the accidents at sea also damages seabed, sea depth, sea surface, flora and fauna, cause marine traffic and ultimately harm the marine ecosystem.
Number of vessels
Though many preventive measures are taken and many are worked upon, we get big numbers of accidents annually. When we go through the analysis of accidents, reasons such as the poor maintenance, lack of proper training, equipment failure, natural calamities and primarily collisions can be found. It was reported that approximately 21325 ships involved in accidents leading to 25000 deaths and 8000 injuries in the period (2007-2020).
Its adverse impact can also be seen on the weather and livelihood of the people. The paper deals with the idea to counter the major number of accidents of cargo ships by two proposed systems,
