Concerning the volume of goods conveyed, maritime transport is leading, and the last period proved that the trend is ascendant. Increased marine traffic leads to raised accident risks. Despite the state of the art marine technology and consistent regulations regarding navigation safety, naval accidents still occur and produce severe damage to assets, human life, and the marine environment. The paper presents the main types of naval accidents, focusing on the Black Sea basin, a sea with a complicated status regarding pollution. We analyzed the main factors which triggered the latest naval accidents and proposed a model through which we figured out a naval sinister occurred on 24th November 2019 in the basin of Midia Port, in the Black Sea, with the livestock carrier, Queen Hind, under Palau flag, loaded with more than 14,000 sheep. The ship capsized and sank after departing Midia Port, the crew was rescued, but just a small number of animals were saved. Through the Swiss Cheese Model, the article analyzes the factors that triggered the accident and the consistency of rescue actions taken onboard and by naval authorities to contain disaster effects. The article presents some ways ahead and directions to reduce, in the future, the risk of accidents, curb their effects and improve the response of naval authorities.
