Accidents produce external pressures on companies leading to new regulations and renegotiation of
enforcement of regulations. Our perspective is institutional with a focus on the extended dialogue among
regulators and the industry. The empirical focus is offshore oil and gas production, deep sea and coastal
fisheries, and maritime transportation with a segment of older bulk carriers. The findings are that
structural characteristics of both the industries and the regulatory regime determine the interactions
between the regulated and the regulator. The paper illustrates that in industrial sectors where hazards
and risks are visible and of public interest, it is easier to implement regulations through outside pressure
fromregulators and other stakeholders such as internationally organised unions.
