FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) is putting the human factor on the maritime insurance agenda with a new Crew Wellbeing Checklist aiming to help insurers recognise how healthier, more resilient crews can mean safer ships and fewer losses. Despite advances in vessel design and technology, safe ship operations still ultimately depend on the people onboard. A growing body of research shows that crew wellbeing is not only a welfare concern but also a business and operational risk factor, with fatigue, stress, excessive workloads, inadequate rest and poor living conditions potentially impairing decision-making and situational awareness and increasing the likelihood of human error.
