Improving safety at sea by listening to seafarers’ experiences with technology before acting on them is the principle that guides this report and the STEER Project as a whole.

Yet, the industry’s understanding of this change has largely been shaped by narratives other than those of the seafarers who operate these systems day to day. The project aims to improve safety by collecting real experiences, including both challenges and successes, and sharing the lessons learned through practical tools and guidance.
This report is not a standalone document but the first in a series that will run throughout the STEER Project’s lifecycle. It begins the process of turning evidence into tangible impact and lasting change in how technology is used at sea.
