| Summary: | Marine safety has promoted the non-violent transportation of goods and property through technological innovation, risk management, and regulations. Accordingly, the study of the evolution of the scientific domain in marine safety is vital. This study discusses the bibliometric review of academic publications performed in marine safety research over 58 years from 1962 till 2020. The assessment is based on the Scopus database and various bibliometric indicators, including publication output growth, citations, and author’s keywords. This study also generated graphical visualisations of bibliometric mapping through VOSviewer software. This study showed that the number of publications on marine safety research has fluctuated with a hike publication in 2020. Moreover, the results tended to indicate that marine safety research is mainly based on engineering scopes. Therefore, the bibliometric review could provide a conscientious and comprehensive view of marine safety research that could benefit marine safety practitioners, academics, and researchers interested in fostering their future exploration in this field. © 2021, ASM Science Journal.
