Seafarer Technology Engagement, Empowerment and Resilience
Maritime technology is transforming how ships are designed, operated and crewed, from automation to artificial intelligence. While these systems are carefully tested, one vital question remains: how do these changes truly affect people working at sea?
The STEER Project, led by The Nautical Institute in collaboration with Lloyd’s Register Foundation, is an international research and engagement initiative that explores the real-world impact of the combined introduction of new systems and working practices to seafarers at sea and ashore.
By listening to the day-to-day experiences of crews, managers, shipowners, manufacturers, regulators and trainers, the STEER Project aims to explore how new technologies affect safety, welfare and decision-making at sea.
If you wish to actively participate in the project, please email us at: steer@nautinst.org
We call on seafarers worldwide to share their views on technology at sea
