Pulse: Decoding Human Error in Maritime Operations
The maritime industry is facing a significant challenge: human error. More than 70% of maritime incidents are attributed to human error, and there is currently no established method for preventing it. To effectively address human error, proactive strategies based on current data and personalized risk management are needed to minimize accidents and protect crews from potential dangers.

Lack of Data
Human error data remains invisible. Shipping companies do not capture these crucial insights day to day, putting crew safety at risk.

Human Error Understanding
Humans are blamed in the vast majority of maritime incidents, but there is little understanding of what really drives human reliability, or its role in maritime risk.

Reactive Analysis
Incidents often occur and are frequently attributed to human error. Shipping companies lack the tools to identify where human error is driving risk. driving risk.
