Have your say on fatigue management
In 2024-2025, AMSA delivered an education campaign on fatigue management, aimed at improving industry understanding and compliance. This work will continue into 2025-2026, with a focus on practical strategies and tools that can be readily adopted by owners/operators and crew.
To ensure this campaign meets the real-world needs of industry, AMSA is seeking input, particularly around what kind of resources and messaging would be most useful.
- What format do you find most effective for receiving safety and compliance information on fatigue (eg. workshops, webinars, printed guidance, onboard posters)?
- Would you find it more useful if fatigue management resources were tailored to specific vessel types or operational contexts (eg. fishing, ferries, tugs)?
- Are there any barriers that you can think of – cultural, operational, or otherwise – that make it harder to implement effective fatigue management?
- Would you be open to participating in case studies or pilot programs to help develop and test fatigue management resources that work in real-world vessel settings.
