Fatigue is a significant contributory factorin many shipping accidents and incidents. Statistics show that ships manned by only two bridge watch-keeping officers, one of whom is also the Master, are particularly vulnerable.

North has produced a Loss Prevention briefing on Fatigue which we trust will assist Members and crews.

The briefing:

Looks at the 2010 Manila amendments to STCW and MLC 2006; the international legislation which governs seafarers’ hours of work and rest.
Reviews enforcement of that legislation via port state control concentrated inspection campaigns.
Discusses the results of the port State control campaigns, which found that there was wide-spread non-compliance with the regulations, particularly watch-keepers not having sufficient rest and hours of rest not being recorded properly.
Examines the findings of some of the research studies into seafarer fatigue
that have been conducted by academic institutions and regulatory bodies.
Offers advice on employing strategies to minimise the risks of fatigue, from both a regulatory compliance and practical viewpoint.
