Helping shipowners to achieve excellent safety on board
DNV has launched a new service which will help shipowners to reduce the high level of accidents onboard ships caused directly by human error.
By analysing and changing the safety culture throughout the organisation, there is a huge potential for cost savings and to build reputation as a competitive advantage.
Every year, shipowners face significant costs and a damaged reputation due to accidents that are mainly caused by human error on board ships. Studies show that 80-90% of accidents are caused directly by human error and that 60% of these are related to poor situational awareness. As a consequence, DNV has developed a risk-based service that takes a comprehensive approach to reducing accidents on board ships.
The new DNV SafeX service analyses the safety culture and attitudes, defines the overall safety performance and implements necessary changes that ensure safety excellence onboard.
