Despite major improvements in technology, maritime accidents and
disasters continue to occur with monotonous regularity, leading to
recognition of the need to care for the ‘Human Element’, a concept endorsed by the International Maritime Organisation.Whilst the need for profitable shipping is fully acknowledged, this profitability
should not take its toll from the human beings on board.
Without a happy and fit crew, existing in decent working and living conditions, the shipping industry will be unable to meet its requirement for safer ships operating in clean waters.
