What does the future of maritime safety look like?

Sometimes, it can be summed up in just a few words.

The STEER Project team describes the initiative in three powerful words: opportunity, exciting, and daunting, reflecting both the promise and responsibility of shaping a safer, more human-centric maritime industry.

The STEER Project is run by The Nautical Institute in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register Foundation and it is focused on improving seafarer safety, wellbeing, and operational standards through collaboration, innovation, and engagement across the maritime sector.
