Another major bone of contention for seafarers has long been the issue of fatigue.
There have been so many attempts to appeal to commonsense on the issue of overwork, too few people and the tiredness which is such a curse and ruination of the modern seafarers existence…however, all attempts at progress and commonsense have usually come to nought.
Fatigue is a killer, fatigue eats away at safety, it makes investments worthless, it is destroying the very fabric of our seaman world…and something needs to be done about it. So once more we call for the Year of the Seafarer to see some positive action to fight this menace.
