Dear All
InterManager will be hosting a think-tank on fatigue and the possible bureaucratic burden placed upon the industry, during Posidonia next month.
Agenda:
Fatigue Management Systems
The results of the fatigue study on board ships, Project MARTHA, will be presents. InterManager has been closely involved with the study since it was first raised in 2013.
Paperless Ships
How paperless ships can help fatigue issues and help iron out bureaucracy.
Questions the think-tank can tackle with your involvement:
– Can fatigue and bureaucracy be combated by increasing the number of people on board?
– Do we need all these procedures?
– Is our SMS system understandable – short and concise and user friendly?
– Is the environment on board allowing seafarers to relax whilst off duty?
– Are our seafarers relieved on time? Is your KPI better than Industry average of 1.5%?
– Do our vessels get inspected every month?
– How do we deal with bullying?
– Are our seafarers allowed to go ashore to relax and to “recharge the batteries”?
– Is training provided on board or during the leave? Are seafarers compensated for training?
– Are we sending our ships into dangerous, stressful locations? If so, how do we support them?
– How do we support our seafarers to avoid loneliness?
– How much time do our sea staff spend on paperwork?
When: 7th June 2016, 14:00 – 17:00
Where: Hotel Theoxenia, 23 Karaoli and Dimitriou Street, Piraeus
