1 MARITIME MARITIME SAFETY SURVEY 1 SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER

2 The safety level in shipping has changed little over the last 20 years 0,014 Serious accidents 0,012 Accident frequency per ship year 0,01 0,008 0,006 0,004 0, Collision Fire/Explosion Foundered Hull/Machinery damage Grounding All cargo carrying ships (dry cargo/passenger, tankers and bulk carriers) 2

3 What is the status of safety in maritime? Average of 900 lives lost at sea every year in ship accidents 10x higher fatality rate in maritime than for industry workers fatalities are caused by occupational accidents2 IMO aims to reduce the fatality rate (for ship accidents) to below 500 DNV GL ambition to reduce the fatality rate by 90% 1) IHS Fairplay ) EMSA Annual Overview of Marine Casualties and Incidents 2014 and DNV GL Future of shipping (2014) 3

4 WHO WERE THE RESPONDENTS? 4

5 Most respondents had a technical or managerial responsibility, and were based in Norway and Germany 120 Country of respondents 45% Area of responsibility of respondents % 35% Number of responses Percentage of responses 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 20 5% 0 Norway Germany Greece Middle East Sweden Denmark 0% 5

7 SAFETY IS A MAJOR CONCERN 7

8 Safety at sea is a major concern To what extent are you concerned about the fatality rate in shipping? Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% Percentage of responses 8

9 But separating on countries shows differences in the degree of concern 60% To what extent are you concerned about the fatality rate in shipping? 50% Percentage of responses 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Germany Norway Middle East Greece Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly 9

10 Seafarers are considered somewhat less safe than land-based workers To what extent do you consider seafarers to be safe at work when compared to land-based industry workers? Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Percentage of responses 10

11 DNV GL s ambitions for sustainable shipping* - is it achievable? 90% reduction in fatalities 60% reduction in CO2 emissions 0% increase in freight rates *DNV GL report: Future of Shipping

12 Respondents are positive to the outlook of reducing fatality rates, but perhaps not while maintaining current freight rates To what extent do you believe DNV GL's ambition of reducing the fatality rate in shipping by 90% is achievable? Percentage of responses Percentage of responses 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Germany Norway Middle East Greece while maintaining freight rates at present levels? Germany Norway Middle East Greece Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly 12

13 2 SAFETY AS A COMPETITIVE SAFETY IS A DIFFERENTIATOR COMPETITIVE DIFFERENTIATOR 13

14 Over 80% of respondents consider excellent safety performance a strong or very strong competitive advantage in today s market To what extent is excellent safety performance a competitive advantage for your company? Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Percentage of respondents 14

15 Common safety rules and regulations are also considered important, by approximately 80% of respondents To what extent do you consider common safety rules and regulations important for shipping? Very limited Limited Neutral Strongly Very strongly 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% Percentage of responses 15

16 Owners, IMO and classification societies are thought to be the most important drivers of safety at sea To what extent do you consider the following stakeholders to be driving safety at sea? (1=very limited, 5=very strongly) Owner IMO Classification Societies Operator Port State IACS Insurance Designers EU Charterer Yard Suppliers 1 1,5 2 2,5 3 3,5 4 4,5 5 Average response 16

17 THE CREW IS THE KEY 17

18 Human factors, commercial pressure and inadequate safety management are the industry s top safety concerns To what extent do you consider the following issues to be a safety concern in shipping? (1=very limited, 5=very strongly) Poor safety culture / communication Insufficient crew competence High commercial pressure Inadequate safety management Navigational errors Low freight rates Fire and explosions Complex software and control systems Extreme weather Poor equipment reliability Machinery damage Inadequate anchoring Inadequate vessel stability Hull damage Cyber threats 1 1,5 2 2,5 3 3,5 4 4,5 5 Average response 18

21 Question: In your mind, what are the key barriers for improving safety at sea? Safety culture, lack of crew training and high costs are considered the key barriers of improving safety at sea 21

22 Question: If you had an extra 50,000 USD to invest in safety, how would you spend this money? "It would depend : 1. on a yearly basis it is good only for helmets and posters 2. On a quarterly basis it would assist in a good way. 3. per seaman per contract would solve the problem by 80%..." 22

23 One way to improve is Safety culture 23

24 What makes up Safety Culture? Safety Culture The product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies and patterns of behaviour that can determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of an organisation s management of safety. Safety Climate Behaviour Organisation how people feel Individual and group values, attitudes and perceptions. what people do Safety-related actions and behaviours. what the organisation has Policies, procedures and management systems. Attitude and climate surveys Safety audits and safety performance statistics 24

25 Mixed methods: quantitative and qualitative methods Survey Suitable for benchmarking/ comparative purposes Economical assessment tool Answers what but not always why Interview In depth analysis (explain and confirm survey results) Explorative Time and resource consuming Results are harder to compare Qualitative Quantitative 25

26 The company scores higher than the average on Collaboration, Conflicting Goals and Compliance (EXAMPLE) Company vs average score Comments Creative Worry Error Tolerance Competence 4,5 4 3,5 3 Collaboration Managing Conflicting Goals Compared to the average in offshore shipping, the company scores higher on Collaboration, Conflicting Goals and Compliance There is very little difference between the company scores and the average score in offshore shipping on Error Tolerance, Creative Worry and Organizational Learning The company scores lower on Incentives than the average Organisational Learning Compliance Benchmark Incentives 26
