Risk Taking in the maritime industry
- 1. Risk-Taking in the Shipping Industry Presented By CODie.com -Maritime Software for Your Business-
- 2. Based on reaserch provided by UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency “The Human Element – A Guide to Human Behavior in the Shipping Industry” (Dirk Gregory and Paul Shanahan) CODie.com
- 3. What it is About CODie.com
- 4. Shipping always involves risks and we need to accept them. We explain how risk-taking works and how decisions are made. CODie.com
- 6. Even we make a decision we can never be certain that we have made the right one. This is partly because we want our plan to work, hence, we are tricked by our brain into selectively finding assumptions that are good from our personal point of view. CODie.com
- 8. Risks, are determined by our feeling about a given situation. It is influenced by an incorrect perception of control Due to thinking positively about: experience, equipment or familiarity CODie.com
- 9. Example A deckhand who was washed overboard – he only secured himself in heavy weather by wrapping an arm around the pulpit rail instead of using the harness. This situation involved perceived familiarity, it was not the first time the deckhand had done this, therefore the situation seemed to be familiar and hence controllable. He was wrong. CODie.com
- 10. Another point of influence is perceived value – when something could bring one a big step closer to a higher goal, so the more we desire it, the less risky it appears. CODie.com
- 11. How Decisions are Made CODie.com
- 12. Making decisions is time consuming. Our brain needs to work through all data and facts And has to consider alternatives and options CODie.com
- 13. A tradeoff between safety (thorough investigation) and profitability (deciding quickly) happens. Companies need both traits, and their company culture dictates what is favored CODie.com
- 14. Companies pressuring for efficiency shift the perception of their seamen Thoroughness will be valued less Working quick becomes valued CODie.com
- 15. Why we Break Rules CODie.com
- 16. Maritime buisness is dominated by time and cost. People break rules to increase efficiency CODie.com
- 17. People tend to use „just good enough“ principles to increase efficiency, here are five: 1. It looks fine or It’s not really important – so we can skip this step. 2. It’s good enough for now, ie it exceeds minimal requirement. CODie.com
- 18. 3. It was checked earlier/will be checked by someone else later – so we can skip this. 4. There’s no time (or no-one) to do it now. Don’t worry – we’ll do it later! 5. “It’s normally OK” or “It’s much quicker this way”. CODie.com
- 20. The ship manager is requested to Create a company culture which allows thourough decisions School seamen about risk levels Communicate known risks CODie.com
- 21. The seaman is requested to Have decisions evaluated by his team Support a open and just critic culture Not fall for perceived familiarity CODie.com
- 22. Influence of company culture Incident reporting: It might improve efficiency but, not necessarily safety Policy integrity: Safety as top priority is often lip service Cost policy: Unnecessary cost are reduced, but what is unnecessary and who defines it? CODie.com
- 24. Managers tend to favour the efficiency of meeting their deadlines rather than thoroughness. This is because it is their non-efficiency that the organisation will notice first, and if things go well, they will be praised for their efficiency. CODie.com
