Prevention at Sea successfully wrapped up its Singapore Maritime Event at Park Royal Marina Bay, drawing together maritime leaders, operators, and industry professionals.
The half-day event created a platform for high-level discussions on compliance, digitalization, and seafarer competency, empowering shipping companies to adapt confidently to evolving regulations and the digital future.
Key Themes and Discussions
The event revolved around several critical themes shaping the maritime industry today:
-
Maritime Vetting – Industry experts provided insights into SIRE 2.0, RISQ 3.1, and DryBMS, emphasizing the importance of evolving vetting practices.
-
Digital Compliance – Speakers explored the role of electronic ship logbooks and the potential of digital systems to streamline reporting processes.
-
Seafarer Competency – Special attention was given to the behavioural assessment of crew members within the framework of SIRE 2.0, highlighting human factors as a cornerstone of safety and compliance.
Industry Perspectives
Petros Achtypis, CEO of Prevention at Sea, stressed that while physical inspections remain valuable, they are often time-consuming, subjective, and inconsistent. He predicted vetting would evolve into a multi-dimensional and data-driven exercise, supported by compliance platforms such as the company’s MORSE system.
Adding to this, Christos Georgiou, Head of Product at Prevention at Sea, described MORSE as more than just a software solution, but a compliance ecosystem and philosophy that simplifies processes, enhances safety, and ensures long-term regulatory adherence.
The Singapore Maritime Event fostered open dialogue and practical knowledge-sharing, leaving participants with actionable insights on compliance, digital transformation, and crew competency. By spotlighting the role of digital tools like MORSE and the need for multi-factor vetting, the event marked an important step in preparing the maritime industry for upcoming challenges and opportunities.
