The Challenge
Human error remains the most important factor in marine accidents; in spite of having known better or having the necessary training and competency, seafarers can still make decisions which lead to undesired outcomes, injury or damage to assets. This challenge, set in conjunction with Scorpio, sought to help ship operators gather data about and analyse the behaviours of crew and the onboard work environment, whilst safeguarding user privacy, to develop a deeper understanding of why wrong decisions happen and ultimately to improve processes, training and staffing to reduce risk of human error incidents.
Solutions should use and augment existing ship data including voice data feeds and historic incident voyage data to help process and analyse what actually happened that led to an undesired outcome, uncover the relationship between discovered patterns and undesired outcomes, and gain real time insights rather than learn only from post mortems following an incident.
