Explores the collective safety attitudes and behaviours in maritime settings, aiming to foster a proactive culture. It aims to provide maritime professionals with the needed insights to enhance safety practices and cultivate a resilient safety culture.

The focus is on the integration of HF into the engineering and design processes of maritime systems. The goal is to optimise user interfaces and operational workflows to improve human performance and enhance overall system reliability.

Scopes the systematic assessment of risk, incorporating Human Reliability Assessment (HRA) techniques to understand and mitigate human contribution to failure.

Discusses the complex interaction between human and automated systems. It emphasises the importance of user-centric designs in both autonomous and automated environments, exploring how human expertise can enhance and optimise these settings.

Investigates the intersection of human factors and the maritime industry’s shift towards decarbonisation, particularly through the adoption of alternative fuels. It explores how system design considers the health and safety of maritime professionals, the impact of human behaviour on the effectiveness of alternative fuel systems, and the readiness of today’s seafarers to handle future fuels.

Debates the challenges in the current maritime education and training framework, exploring innovative approaches to prepare future maritime professionals and seafarers for evolving industry demands and new technologies.

Dives deep into the mental and physical health issues encountered by maritime professionals during operations. The focus is on enhancing the mental well-being of seafarers and other individuals involved in marine activities while also providing effective strategies for managing stress.
