Human Element in Shipping & Competencies Matrix


The STCW, MLC 2006 Conventions and other relative to Human Element IMO circulars have as “target” the Human Element on board. In addition ISM and ISPS codes, provide some additional training and qualification requirements for some key personnel ashore like Designated Persons and Company Security Officers.

 

Expand your knowledge on the Human Element in Shipping and Implement the proposed “Competencies Matrix” on board and ashore.

 

As per IMO definition human element is a complex issue that affects maritime safety, security and marine environmental protection and is published by the relevant Resolution A.947(23): Human Element Vision, Principles and Goals for the organisation including Vision and Goals. Training and qualified personnel are very important factors for the safe and secure management and operation of ships, while the competencies of each person involved, need to be continuously evaluated and analysed. This course describes the main Human Element issues for the persons onboard and ashore that must be considered so that trainees can be able, using the gained input, to implement the last part of the course which is the “Competencies Matrix”.

 

Aims & Objectives
  • To significantly enhance maritime safety and the quality of the marine environment by addressing human element issues to improve performance
  • To be able to decide the methods used and requirements for the selection of the personnel on board and ashore
  • To have in place a structured approach for the proper consideration of human element issues for use in the development of regulations and guidelines by all committees and sub-committees
  • To conduct a comprehensive review of selected existing IMO instruments from the human element perspective
  • To promote and communicate, through human element principles, a maritime safety culture and heightened marine environment awareness
  • To provide a framework to encourage the development of non-regulatory solutions and their assessment based upon human element principles
  • To have in place a system to discover and to disseminate to maritime interests studies, research and other relevant information on the human element, including findings from marine and non-marine incident investigations
  • To provide material to educate seafarers so as to increase their knowledge and awareness of the impact of human element issues on safe ship operations, to help them do the right thing
