With incidents on the rise, more needs to be done to address safety, particularly as the industry faces uncertainties related to decarbonization and digitalization.
The analysis found that the overall number of safety incidents increased by 9% in 2022, driven by a 12% increase in incidents involving machine damage or failure.
This highlights the importance of developing a better understanding of new technologies and placing equal value on human, organisational and technological elements, helping to cultivate a robust safety culture in maritime companies and within the industry.
