Leading the way; making a difference The ship, The people, The equipment Ensuring integration for the right reason Dr Phillip Belcher Marine Director INTERTANKO

Leading the way; making a difference Structure of Talk What do we want to achieve Why do we want to achieve it When things go wrong Its all the seafarer’s fault Work with the seafarer Integrate the seafarer

Leading the way; making a difference INTERTANKO Represent the INDEPENDENT tanker owners 220+ full members 300 Associate 280,000,000 dwt 3,300 ships

Leading the way; making a difference Our Goal Zero fatalities Zero pollution Zero detentions Our committee set up ISTEC Vetting HEiSC

Leading the way; making a difference E-Nav- What do we want to achieve? Fully integrated system Seamless transfer of information Complete picture of what is going on along a coast Control Control of the sea space Control of the situation

Leading the way; making a difference Why do we want to achieve that? Zero fatalities Zero pollution But, if something does go wrong, then... Coastal State needs the full picture What ships What cargo How many people

Leading the way; making a difference When things go wrong Human error 80% all accidents 100%? So naturally we focus on people New regulations

Leading the way; making a difference Why Rules are not followed: Lack of knowledge Lack of surveillance and enforcement Taking a short-cut Rule not accepted Lack of trust Demonstrate professional skill Rule could not cover everything Restrict actions

Leading the way; making a difference Compliance Culture Seafarers ‘buy into the rule’. They need to understand why it is necessary, why they should follow it and why they should train others to follow it. And regulators must always be seen to be applying the same rules and enforcing them equally.

Leading the way; making a difference Beyond mere compliance Seafarers have the training Experience Expertise Company back up Encouraged to question, to give feedback Show that they have a stake in their safety They must trust the equipment

Leading the way; making a difference A question If Humans are such a problem, Why bother having them?

Leading the way; making a difference Importance of people Integral part of the system Rules cannot cover everything, so machines cannot do everything People can think

Leading the way; making a difference Integration for seafarers Design the human into the system Don’t just look at ergonomics Think how people will: work with, use and maintain the system

Leading the way; making a difference Not good enough to stick it in a box When designing, consider Apple High quality products that you want to use With a simple interface

Leading the way; making a difference Simplification Not Just Standardisation Intuitive interface Presenting the right information Coupled with training But think how will seafarers use it in practice

Leading the way; making a difference When designing: Just because you can, does not mean you should

Leading the way; making a difference Make the seafarer an asset That is why we must integrate Seafarer is your premier line of defence Thank you
