Onboard Operations

Shipping today is increasingly dependent on digital solutions. This is also why the industry is becoming more vulnerable to cyber attacks that may result in shipping-related operational, safety, or security failures. Cybersecurity is about the awareness, culture, and behaviour of your Employees; a defined Process compiled of clear steps for carrying out tasks; and the Technology used to protect systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from malicious cyber attacks.

There are hundreds of accidents every year where the worker is in an enclosed space. Over 50% of workers who die in confined spaces are attempting to rescue colleagues.

Mooring, towing, and anchoring can put a lot of strain on lines and equipment because of the high forces involved. The importance of proper knowledge and understanding of such operations by the crew will avoid accidents and casualties.
