Biggest Challenge: Change

When the rate of change of environment or technology is rapid it is required that the rate of learning and subsequent organisational, procedural changes and training also keeps pace with the change else the risk of accident will increase. If the rate of organisations learning is less than the rate of environmental change the Organisation will die Bob Garratt

Conclusion
Ship operations: demand higher technical, managerial and analytical skills for safe and efficient operations of vessels. The intelligent analytical tools are critical and vital for optimization of operations. The complex automated systems are susceptible to higher infant mortality failures The equipments should be standardized and approved after thorough testing and trials.

Conclusion
Large number of equipment manufacturers in the marine sector making mastery of the equipment difficult. Company should try to standardize the equipment across its fleet. Change in mindset and operators confidence in the system Comprehensive hands on training and assessment on the simulators Equipment specific training on emulators

Conclusion
Talent with higher ability required Tap the students from rural India for high retention and attitude Navodaya Schools a good starting point. Stake holders shall actively participate in the positive awareness campaign Seafarers can be used to present in schools Participation in Republic Day Parade for visibility
