About
Maritime & Coastguard Agency awarded a contract to Southampton Solent University for a scientifically robust investigation into the 8-hours on/8-hours off seafarer watchkeeping system, focusing on its effects on seafarer fatigue, performance, and maritime safety.
The project involved conducting a mixed-methods study, assessing impacts on fatigue, cognitive and physical performance, health and wellbeing, and comparing the 8/8 system with 4/8 and 6/6 systems.
The findings were intended to inform UK policy on watchkeeping and fatigue management, UK submissions to the IMO and EU, and the international body of scientific knowledge.
The contract value was AUD 44,900.
