In a changing world the common ground for professional mariners is still the challenge of moving at speed across the sea in waves. A shared objective is reducing the risk of injury for crews and passengers. This online workshop addresses these issues.

After a fast transit people need to be able to perform tasks. Maritime pilots and wind farm technicians need to climb ladders then have the cognitive ability to make decisions. Search and rescue teams need to be able to carry out rescues that may involve heavy lifting. Military and coast guards undertake boardings that range from a simple daytime step across at sea level to a combat ladder climb at night.

THEME: How Can We Improve Safety for Professional Planing Craft?

  • Session 1: Industry Best Practice - Guidance Versus Regulations
  • Session 2: Technology and Solutions to Improve Ride Quality at Sea
  • Session 3: Human Factors for Manned and Unmanned Vessels

Presenters and experts will consider how different approaches to managing safety at sea have evolved over the past decade. Dynamic discussions will address the real challenges and opportunities for change. Especially how hard lessons from incidents can be utilised to reduce the risk of injury for all people on boats. Technology developers are now focussing on clearly defined problems to build effective solutions.

With practical safety always front and centre, NEXT GEN Fast Transit highlights effective solutions for workboats, pilot boats, patrol craft, military vessels, SAR, wind farm support and unmanned craft. With focus on sub 24 metre vessels, topics are also relevant for the ports they operate from.

The unique knowledge gained from NEXT GEN workshops will help to shape real world decisions, from modifying in-service vessels to shaping requirements for fleets of the future. Attendees include commercial, government and military organisations, boat builders, technology developers, engineers, naval architects, class societies and legislators.

NEXT GEN Fast Transit is a workshop via TEAMS, not a webinar, so places are limited. Attendees receive a CPD certificate. There is a discount for Military / Govt / Ports / RINA / IMarEST / UKHMA / UKMPA.
