The illusion of safety: what we're getting wrong about crews, tech, and fatigue

13 May 2025

CET - ONLINE

The recent collision between the Solong and Stena Immaculate has reignited questions across the industry — about how crews are supported on the bridge, how fatigue is managed, and whether today’s operational models are truly fit for purpose.

While investigations are still underway, early scrutiny has turned to factors like manning levels, use of automation, navigational practices, and rest management. These themes echo growing concerns across the shipping sector: are we doing enough to empower
