ClassNK, a leading classification society, has released a new set of “Prime Shipmanagement Guidelines” to make ship operations safer and more efficient by learning from real-life success stories.
The classification society developed these guidelines to help the maritime industry handle today’s fast-changing environment, including fuel transitions, stricter global regulations, and crew shortages.
The guidelines are designed to support flexible decision-making during unpredictable situations at sea. According to studies, human error is still one of the main reasons behind most maritime accidents.
While technology and environmental rules have helped make ships safer and more efficient, they’ve also added new responsibilities for the people managing and operating vessels.
Crews and managers now need to learn new skills and knowledge that were not necessary before.
ClassNK believes that depending only on traditional safety practices-mainly focused on learning from past failures- is no longer enough.
The organisation has introduced a new approach called “resilience engineering.”
