<br/><br/> This study analyzes in depth the relationship between human factors of Seafarers  involved in oil theft and smuggling at sea and the potential ESG risks associated with  these illegal activities. Through a case study of an oil shipping company, which  occurred in 2018, this study examines the effects of working conditions, financial  pressures, social and family pressures, organizational culture, compliance activities and  corporate risk management on Seafarers decisions to engage in illegal activities. The  literature review integrates theories such as Enterprise Risk Management (RAT),  Routine Activity Theory (RAT), Human Factors Analysis and Classification System  (HFACS) and the role of Psychopathy to analyze the underlying causes. The qualitative  approach used in this project, which included focus group discussions and case study  analysis, identified governance gaps in supervision, training, human factors and  measures to prevent theft and smuggling. The findings highlighted the need to improve  crew welfare, training, compliance monitoring, risk management and ethical awareness.  The study also provided guidance for developing the ethic and compliance training  manuals for shipping companies.
