ECDIS- On the Way to Cost Savings and Safer Navigation

If airlines, that have the highest safety record statistically (% of incidents) among all modes of transportation, can do this, then why cannot the maritime industry? The maritime industry has always been known to be a laggard in adapting to technology and has always had a reactive rather than proactive attitude.

In shipping we need to work towards a ‘zero defect’ work culture as even being as accurate as 99.9% can have disastrous outcomes similar to ‘50 newborn babies dropped at birth by doctors every day’ or ‘2 unsafe plane landings per day at O’Hara Airport’.And we definitely do not want similar disastrous outcomes in our business.
