The article is devoted to the study of the main directions of improving the safety of navigation by preventing ship collisions. The modern development of global shipping is characterized by an increase in the intensity of maritime transportation, which significantly increases the risks of emergencies, in particular ship collisions. These incidents are one of the main causes of maritime accidents, resulting in significant economic losses, environmental damage and risk to human life. The article analyzes various aspects of improving safety of navigation, including the use of modern technologies, organizational measures, crew training and efficient ship maintenance. The focus is on the following areas: technical support, organizational measures, education and training for the crew, communication systems and international coordination, as well as ensuring the technical serviceability of ships. Radar systems allowing to detect and track ships at different distances, which is critical in difficult weather conditions. Another important aspect is crew training. Regular professional education, training, and simulation training help crews adapt to new technologies and respond effectively to dangerous situations. An effective communication system and international coordination are critical for rapid response to emergencies. Emergency communication systems ensure rapid exchange of information between ships and coastal services, and international cooperation contributes to increased preparedness and coordination. Ensuring the technical serviceability of ships through regular inspections and technical surveys is the basis for safe navigation, allowing to identify and eliminate potential problems. The article emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to improving shipping safety, including the integration of advanced technologies, organizational processes, training and maintenance. This approach helps to reduce the risk of ship collisions and improve overall safety at sea
