The unfortunate tale of a missed reef This series highlights recent maritime accidents, detail their causes and highlight how intelligent systems could help prevent future incidents. It is inspired by the fact that when I co-founded Shone, I learnt that most accidents happen due to human errors. Actually, studies show thatContinue Reading
What is the role you fulfill working as a safety professional? Plenty of titles in the safety domains include the word “manager”. But, is that always what is needed; A manager? Or would a “leader” sometimes be a better fit for the task at hand? Some may not even be awareContinue Reading
WHAT PREVENTS SEABED MINING FROM BEING FULLY OPERATIONAL We are living in strange times: on the one hand, the fanciest global trend implies shifting to the ultimately eco-friendly “green” economy where fossil fuels are to be rejected.

Well, first of all, what is science? And what is safety? Is there at all something called safety science? Or is understanding safety and creating safe and resilient processes at work perhaps more about understanding the array of commonalities going on in the workplace where people, organizations and technology interface?Continue Reading
At Scoutbase we are working hard to build a digital platform for the maritime and offshore industries which helps you identify safety-related challenges in everyday work — before they turn into accidents. Probably the most crucial part of this is getting seafarers to share their experiences on board. Next to doing our ownContinue Reading

Over 80% of goods are carried by sea and the world merchant fleet totals about 50,000 ships, and the only reason I know this is because I co-founded Shone, a startup focused on shipping technology.

How a small mistake in chart plotting can lead to a disaster This series highlights recent maritime accidents, detail their causes and highlight how intelligent systems could help prevent future incidents. It is inspired by the fact that when I co-founded Shone, I learnt that most accidents happen due to humanContinue Reading
The first part of this conceptual explanation is devoted to describing the socio-economic rationale of the gamified investment platform we are going to create. In order to refresh the objectives of this project in the memory of our readers, we would like to list several key provisions of our conceptContinue Reading
