Improving the awareness of the human element in the maritime industry



Is a Nautical Institute project, sponsored by Lloyd’s Register Educational Trust, to improve the awareness of the human element in the maritime industry. The purpose of the forum is to establish a common database for, and to promote debate on, all maritime related human element research, focussing attention on areas of weakness that may lead to new research projects while offering a vehicle for distributing and applying the results.

The documents start from 2003 & continue to be released. The lastest one was released in Jan of 2010.

Here at Crew2crew we will be sharing these with you.
