Today marks 61 years since the USS Thresher sank off the coast of Boston killing all 129 crew and shipyard personnel aboard. Their loss spurred the creation of the SUBSAFE program. Today, we remember these lessons: •      Testing is done for a reason, don't shortcut testing because it's too hard. •      Design failure can have deadly impact much later •      Cascading failure modes , a series of small failures can lead to a big failure USS Thresher – Lest We Forget https://lnkd.in/e8d7VuGa

According to preliminary estimates of the American authorities, removing the consequences of the collapse of the bridge in Baltimore may take some time and up to 10 years. It was previously reported that dismantling the destroyed structures and rebuilding the supports and spans could cost up to $3 billion, and if indirect damage to infrastructure and logistics is taken into account, the figures will rise to $70-80 billion over the coming years. As for the damage, this is one of the worst disasters in the US in decades, surpassing even common train derailments and other instances of infrastructure failure. https://lnkd.in/dhJChGD6 #crew #crewmembers #cruiseship #cruiselife #ship #shiplife #maritime #injury #injured #sea #sealife #Baltimore #accident

The maritime news has been quite rightly dominated by the MV Dali’s allision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland which cost six lives and closed two major transport arteries on land and sea. It was therefore good to receive the first Safety Digest of 2024 from the UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch.  This issue contains several analyses of accidents, some of them fatal, involving merchant, fishing and recreational vessels.  In his introduction, the Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents Andrew Moll OBE, encouraged all seafarers to engage in ‘precautionary thought’.  This process is intended to focus minds on the activity at hand, the risks involved and the equipment and training required. Or as we used to call it in the military, the Seven Ps: ‘Prior Planning & Preparation Prevents P*ss Poor Performance’.   #maritime #boatchat #marinesurveying 

On January 19, 2024, the Commandant released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposing a system of shipping safety fairways along the Atlantic Coast. This NPRM is posted to USCG-2019-0279 and is open for public comment through April 18, 2024. The rulemaking proposes eighteen fairways providing space for safe, unobstructed vessel traffic along the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to Massachusetts. There are also proposed changes to the Traffic Separation Schemes and one fairway anchorage off the Delaware Bay. Several precautionary areas have been changed or added as well, in approaches to major ports to ensure navigation safety within the U.S. Marine Transportation System. #coastguard #marinesafety #NPRM #atlanticcoast #maritimeassociationofsc

Preparing for the unexpected at sea is a key part of any ship’s safety schedule – and when sudden cardiac arrest (or SCA) occurs, a swift and effective response is crucial. On-board marine AEDs have significantly increased the survival rate of SCA sufferers in a number of environments including trains and planes – so it’s easy to see the need for this specialist equipment to ensure the continued safety of crew members and passengers whilst catering to the specific set of challenges faced at sea. Whether you operate a commercial, passenger or merchant sea-going vessel, the Lifeforce and Lifeline VIEW AEDs can play a significant role in bringing down SCA-related death rates at sea.
