The safe operation of ships and the safe handling of cargo are core principles for shipping companies. In addition to focusing on the safety of their own operations, shipping companies take steps to protect the public health and safety in the countries they transit. Safety in shipping has improved significantly in the last decade with shipping losses declining by more than 50% since 2005. While ship owners might only work reactively with safety, the Scandinavian approach has been to establish pro-active methods of working with safety involving humans and learning from each other. SvenskSjöfart, together with the Swedish Transport Agency, has made a joint effort and created ForeSea – an information system on accidents, incidents and near misses at sea. The common incident database transparency, knowledge transfer and shared knowledge is prevailing. What distinguishes ForeSea from other systems is that the information in the database can be used for identification of safety analyzes of specific events, thus contributing to preventive maritime safety. The main goal of the ForeSea system is to reduce risks of maritime accidents, by sharing and transferring safety information between operators and management. Allowing formulation of safety analyses, assessments and safety reports. The main objective of the project has been to perform quality assurance of the system, analyze methods, ensure availability for research project and software training modules, make adaption; technical interface and system customization as well as IT improvements, training materials and dissemination. This report outlines the work and findings of the ForeSea 2.0 - Development of a Maritime safety system project as performed during the year of 2017 and 2018. Humans, especially the crews have an important role in the safe operation of ships. The crews, given the right circumstances are able to safely maneuver, navigate, maintain and operate the vessel. The crews are dependent on many factors that enable this work, from the design of the vessel and work place, the procedures, processes given by the ship management and the business approach the ship owner applies to the vessel. The introduction of more automation requires a systems perspective and will not be a straight forward development. Total autonomy as proposed by some technology developers is often neglecting the functions and roles that humans have on maritime safety and the business case for increased automation neglects the full contribution of humans onboard. Total autonomy will therefore require high-end products that are built on standardized complex systems. Controlling and monitoring these systems will set new requirements on operators to uphold situated understanding in these complex systems. Many aspects will be affected by increased automation towards smart shipping - regulations, organization, workplace, working methods, HMI, roles and skills. To cope with the foreseen changes, it is important to develop further training, skills, experience, openness in the organization and familiarization giving the future crews the right pre-conditions to succeed in the future, as well as mindful design and integration of newly automated systems In the future, the ISM code will likely have to change to improve the interaction between land organisations and crews in order to facilitate better integration of split responsibilities and split physical locations by the management system which in the long run allows for an increased land-based monitoring and control of vessels’ systems and move certain tasks to shore to lower workload onboard, which should be one of the main drivers for automation. The results from this project ensure the quality of the tools and the output and the communication via the new homepage (https://foresea.org/), folders and roll-ups ensures a smooth dissemination and spreading.
